"Senegal’s national flower is the baobab, the national soccer team is known as the “Lions of Teranga,” and the national dish is thieboudienne. You can find the last one - stewed fish in tomato broth - at every place on this guide, but you can’t find a better version than the one at Pikine. The big pieces of perfectly grilled and stewed white fish are served with five different vegetables, all of which make clear that they’ve spent plenty of time getting to know each other over the past few hours. Even Sadio Mane in national green rather than Liverpool red can’t outshine this thieboudienne thanks to the mound of heavily seasoned, crispy rice, which soaks up the tomato-y juices, and becomes spicier the longer you let it mingle with the scotch bonnet pepper on the plate." - matt tervooren
