Before I can marry you, you must be able to prepare Ghana Jollof, Michael Blackson tells GH ladies

He said, in a lighthearted way, that the way to win his heart is to become an expert in Ghana Jollof, a popular and important dish in Ghanaian culture.

At his school's first-anniversary festivities in Agona Nsaba, Central Region, Blackson spoke with Doreen Avio and stressed the significance of genuine Ghana Jollof as a prerequisite for winning his love.

"Jollof examination. I have to try the jollof that you cook, and it must be excellent. I spend a lot of time with people from Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and even China who eat fried rice. I can't marry you if my wife can't represent my nation with the ideal Ghanaian jollof," he said.

Mike said he almost lost his maid because of this one criterion while she was making the most delicious Jollof he had ever tasted.

"I'm quite near to getting married to my housekeeper. She recently made some jollof. It's among the greatest times I've had in a very long time," he continued.

According to legend, jollof rice originated in Senegal, Mauritania, and the Gambia. The Wolof ethnic group, who live in these nations, is said to be the source of the word "Jollof." Nonetheless, Jollof Rice is not known by that name in these nations.

 Rather, it is called Thieboudienne or Benachin, and the preparation methods differ noticeably. Fish and vegetables are employed in the cooking process in these versions.

Consequently, even while the origins of Jollof Rice may be found in these nations, it is clear that both the dish's name and preparation techniques changed as it traveled throughout West Africa.
