The vendors are so generous. The rice scoops were overflowing and he put even more in after measuring wow
Power of camera plus if you are regular this would happen occasionally. That said some traders will just give EXACTLY what you paid for and no moređ
not all of them...especially the one she bought the cubes from...lol
Many parts of the world still operate on a open bargain system. This also includes treating regulars nicely, giving them a little bonus every now and then to ensure their loyalty.
Maybe cause the standard is to Scam your customers
Because when he was pouring the second set (the half scoop) some fell out
But Yeh he and the lady with the oil was generous, she put more too
I love how every single place adds another small amount when they package it up
I enjoyed this idea as well. It feels like sprinkling a little bit of love into the package!
Like in the old days when wanted a dozen of some baked goods and got instead a "baker's dozen" which meant you paid for 12 but received 13 and couldn't then say you were shorted.
They donât do that in Dominican Republic and itâs poor đ€Łđ€Łđ€·đ»ââïž
Most vendors in markets in West and Central Africa do this. It's not just love, it is also strategy to intice customers to come back to that very food stall the next time they visit. And it works for sure
@@Killerdolce1 I see đ€ well they defiantly would have me coming back đ€Łđ
The sitting down stool seems so much more preferable to me than standing on feet to cook.
Looked awesome and delicious!
It's lovely to see how every seller in the market tops off the purchase with a little extra. Rarely see that here in the greedy US.
You probably never buy in bulk and you probabaly dont have open air markets
@@rogerw5725 I have a family of 6. I definitely buy in bulk. Our open air markets are farmer's markets and swap meets. Not to the scale of this one in Ghana, of course.
@@ernestor5440 lol that might just work
@@ernestor5440 hater
@@jesscamp92 you aren't hitting the right farmers markets... if you ask nicely, the local farmers will be more than happy to let you try items, and provide more than what is there.
Mam this was super fascinating..so cool to see the real human side of certain cultures..also love the positive energy you put out into the world..people like you are needed nowadays..thanks for sharing this moment..
Buying cooking oil in a bag like a bloody goldfish is the wildest thing I've seen in a while and it's what I love about the internet. I love learning about how other cultures live in practical terms. Not just like, westernised versions of their food.
đ
I love to see it too
I'm not from Ghana but in my country too we take oil in a bag, not in packets prepackaged! For us pre packaged oil is weirdđ
@@BATMAN-rq5jz I love it, we're all so different but also so similar đ
mind u in my country they sell gasoline in a used water bottle
when you put the tomato paste and then the onion garlic ginger paste it almost looked like BUTTER CHICKEN gravy...lots of love and respect from India
So sweet the way you held your spoon up to feed the woman that came by after you plated the first plate to test it out. I love seeing people share their food and enjoy together. Itâs nice practice for families to have.
Back then when I studied abroad, my roommate was from Ghana. He let us try this Jollof rice. Loved it so much. Too bad he only brought one package of precooked ingredient, and we couldn't replicate the recipe T-T.
đ đ
Iâm from New Orleans and this dish is prepared very similarly to Jambalaya. Iâm wondering now if this was carried by generations from the slave era. Fascinating
Jambalaya is a melting pot original with Spanish, French, and African foodways influencing it. This wouldn't be the exact recipe it originated from, but considering all three areas have a variation of this type of rice dish independently it's hard to say which was the foundation (Im not sure im sold on the Spanish creation "legend"), but you cannot deny the influence!
@@wutarrwedoin Iâm not denying the Spanish and French influence. I mentioned it was a similar recipe. I know it very well as I grew up preparing Jambalaya. Just as mother, grandmothers, and great-great grandmothers. Obviously with each location geographically you utilize whatâs available to you locally. The differences I noticed are the Holy Trinity(Jollof only excludes celery), and our local shrimp/shrimp stock, sausages, pickled pork or chicken that Jambalaya includes along with some missing spices. Jollof includes similar ingredients available to the locals there. But the very essence of Jambalaya translates to Jollof rice. Iâm not stating a fact that is was carried down, as I couldnâtâŠ.but it surely is possible as these very people were brought to New Orleans as slaves. Jollof was already around. Iâll just choose to believe it personally. Itâs all speculation as Jambalaya wasnât specifically recorded. If there was a taste test the two would be very distinct , especially the little bits of fish in Jollof thatâs not in Jambalaya. Iâd love to try it one day.
In Gullah Geechee culture we make red rice with fried fish. I think thatâs where it started as the biggest slave port and made its way to New Orleans jambalaya eventually . Even shrimp and grits(with okra especially as the thickener) started too from the Gullah Geechee people who originated from Senegambia region.
@@hello_04 Amazing! Thanks for sharing
Rice only grew naturally in Asia and Africa until the colonizers like Spain came and took some go grow. I heard a podcast about black cooking and one of the historian said the Spanish raice dish was a version of j9llof!
In Sweden we only know pickled herring.Most lovely to see you incorporate the dried fish into the rice. I too loved the vendors topping off each purchase with a pinch more rice or an extra pepper.
In the South (S. Carolina) this is called Red Rice. Same method, but no fish and chopped bell peppers. Sometimes with sausage. Definitely hot peppers. đ„ Not surprised thou. My ancestors are from Senegal đžđł and Cameroon đšđČ so Jollof traveled well into America. I make it all the time!!
Yummy â€
Yes it's called red rice here
In South Carolina
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleston_red_rice
@@MikelosM That's where my mother and her 9 brothers and sisters were born. Good Ole Charleston, SC â„!
I can never emphasize this enough but Brasil is African land⊠we have same markets over there and itâs culturally same behavior, the vendors always top it up with extra of whatever u buy, I feel so happy when I am back home for vacation and can feel this warmth care. â€ïž
Tatiana you are my favourite Ghanaian youtuber. I get so excited when you post a new videođ
Aaawww I appreciate you a lot â€ïž
Beautiful sis! Thanks for the cooking ideas! â€ïž
Please please I respectfully and lovingly ask you to reconsider burning the oil bag open. The micro plastics are so very bad for your health and fractures your dna as you age and rebuild. â€ïžđđ»â€ïž
Absolutely love the spirit and personality you pour into these videos! Please keep up the amazing content. đ
I tried the red pepper from Ghana, one of the hottest peppers I ate and its delicious. Very popular here in Maldives đČđ»
It has a name, it's called Naga King chilli one of the hottest chillies in the world at some point. It is grown mostly in North East India.
Very nice
OMG I'm Puerto Rican đ”đ·, and this is similar to what we eat. We cook salted cod on the side. The rice has gandules (pigeon peas, what we eat in đ”đ·) or habichuelas (red, pink, or black beans). Yes, there's alot of Spanish, Portuguese ,African and French influences in our culture and food, but this just gives me so much vibes of my culture. I hope you get to go to Puerto Rico and see how far African influences has made it there. We also make a paste to cook our meats,, beans and put in our rice, it's called SOFRITO!!! Subscribed!!! đČđ
It is because we are the same people, and only separated by the slave-ships .
We really have to find alternatives to all this rubber packaging . It hurts my heart watching considering a lot gets choked in gutters in places like Accra . Nice video. Enjoyed watching the local way of cooking .
Agree 100%
cloth bags ! Its reusable and washable. Same problem in my country. Many people have started to say No to plastic bags and carry a cloth bag with them for grocery shopping, but still not enough people... a very long way to go.
Actually in markets like these, zero waste packaging is easier to adapt to and promote... consumer has a choice to get cloth bags and empty jars/ bottles from home to carry back veg and grocery, as most of the stuff is sold loose. As opposed to supermarkets where already everything is prepackaged and the consumer has no choice.
@@ranugarg1 a plastic bag disposed of correctly is better for the environment than a cloth bag. If you use a plastic bag for at least 3 times before discarding it, it has less environmental impact. The problem is that they throw the plastic bag in nature/rivers in the third world.
@@fredrikalfson1541 Sorry, I dont agree at all. Most of these countries dont even have a recycling rate of 15% and plastic outlasts us and will inevitably land in landfills or water bodies. Using thrice than single use is lesser impact but way more than not using at all when avoidable. Many of the cloth bags I have, had been repurposed from old clothing and been in use for years... and not to say biodegradable being cotton. Refuse reuse recycle repair reduce... in that order !
The way that lady bagged the oil impressed me đźđ
My husband and I were blessed to spend a month in Ghana when we were young. We were near Accra with a wonderful man Patrick Azariah de Christ. We had rice and these white yams/potato things. I loved the rice there. I donât remember it being as red but they also I believe added eggs to it. It was so good, Best in the world!!!
her energy is so beautiful made me think of how far behind my american culture is in having something to be humble about
Love this! My first food from Africa, was from Ghana. My parents had Nigerian food in their first African food experience and my mom almost choked when she bit into a scotch bonnet pepper and didn't know its very hot! Lol. But my friends from school in New Jersey was from Ghana and they gave me a fish in red oil, with yam and rice. Also it had a boiled egg in it vegetables and this ground corn meal. It was so so good to me. That was in 1997. I wish I could find that place where we bought the food and enjoy again! đŻđđŒđČ excellent. TY
This is amazing....I love how she pounded the vegetables manually,this is so nice
I can only imagine that smells so good. I've never had any type of African cuisine before but I would love to.
Yes Tati ,this is more a northern region(Tamale )food.It also taste really good when cooked with palm oil.Very well executedđ.
Love watching how people cook and eat in other parts of the world . This lady is so beautiful and fun to watch !!
Women are really hardworking. god bless all mothers that raise their kids through thick and thin
the crunchy rice on the bottom is always the best part
Looks delicious and you are an amazing expert. Please don't ever put plastic to melt open in the pan. It's highly toxic. Just puncture it with a knife. And maybe add only a spoon or two and save the rest in a container. â€ïž
I really enjoy watching your videos! And one of my favorite parts is watching your practiced hands grind the spices with that rolling method!
Am I the only person who is amazed at her chopping skills with no cutting board?!đ
Youâre an Inspiration and a Promoter of West African Food and Culture to the World.
Well Done
Hi Tatiana,
Thanks for sharing your jollof rice .. I actually made it for my family and they enjoyed it .
I just found your channel! I love it! So interesting to learn about different cultures around the world! You have a great personality and are a natural at this! The person behind the camera is doing an awesome job! Good luck to you!!đ
Omg, I just fell in love with your video and your spirit!! Much love and blessings to you from San Antonio,Tx!!â€ïžâ€ïžđđ
Tati you are doing amazing.Very fun to watch your videos.Keep up the hard work! Thank you for representing the region â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Thanks for watching dear
I was in Accra Christmas 2020 and had this dish. Looks just as delicious here as it did in Accra. Loved this and fufu đŹđ
Thank you for these videos! Itâs so cool to see other cultures. Youâre so beautiful and seem like such a kind person.
I am most definitely trying out this recipe very soon! I enjoyed the way that you in depth you explained the ingredients and the shopping process definitely subscribing sending you all love and positive vibes! Also thanks again!
Interesting, everything looked good to me except the oil.
I know itâs common practice in a lot of countries to see portions of oil rather than whole jugs because not everyone has the money or even needs that much oil all at once.
It only makes me wonder if itâs adulterated. Or ârecycledâ.
Otherwise good stuff.
Like the files on everything doesnât even matter because you wash the stuff the. You cook it.
the palm oil processing is pretty horrifying in the small villages. the press often dumps into a dirt pit that can have old water in it and they don't care because the oil floats. I wouldn't really mind about the bottle....
And the way she put the oil in the pan. Iâm sure thereâs plastic in the food.
@@bamallama there's no plastic with the way she did it. The heat breaks the packaging and the oil pours in. You might not like the way its done but it works. There's worse shit in our food here in the US than that little bit of plastic. đđ
@@iamwooth1729 yes I know there is bad stuff in our food here, thatâs why I only shop at the store I work in, itâs a health foods store.
@@bamallama yeah unfortunately, for "the best country in the world" we really don't care about the health of our population. Hopefully we can get better regulations in for our foods
Love watching the grocery shopping in local markets then straight to the cooking đđ»
Love your channel. You took me back to the time I lived in Haiti. We purchased food on street and cooked outside as well. Ghana seems much nicer than Haiti though. Jollof rice is named after my tribe, the Wolof. In America, its called red rice and Jambalaya. Peace to you and your family.
Do you have a dish similar to jollof from your tribe? Will love to know cos I am so excited about how we africans are connected irrespective of borders and tribes and tongues
I learned something new.. I had no clue that our red rice and beans. Or jambalaya had any correlation to Jollof. Thanks for sharing
Iâm from New Orleans and we prepare Jambalaya the same. Very nice to know that is was passed down from Africa. Thanks for sharing!
The Gullah geechee (my family is from Beaufort South Carolina sea islands)make a dish called red rice that we eat with fried fish (usually on Friday but good anytime). The Gullah Geechee people were brought to US from Senegambia region for their rice farming knowledge . I heard that the dish we make is more from a Senegalese dish of red rice and fish.
@@ash13311 omg I'm from nola too and I thought both dishes looked similar. I always wondered if they were prepared in a similar fashion but I can't cook so idk lol
Tatiana is a great cook. Very hardworking lady.
That food looks amazing. Thank you for sharing the experience and the recipe.
You are simply amazing and this really looks yummy đ thanks for sharing
Love your channel. â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžmuch love to you for showing us a bit of Ghanaâșïž
I enjoyed the trip to the market and watching you cook. I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing.
Traditional African foods are becoming popular in the United States. My favorite African food style is Ethiopian. It is similar to Indian and Middle Eastern food. I've noticed many West African style catering businesses opening up as well.
In Africa, do you ever eat traditional American foods? Not like McDonalds fast food, but old American traditions, like apple pies and pumpkin pies.
i love when you gave a detail information on the food that you bought
This was so beautiful to watch. Lovely lady and amazing vendors. The jollof came out looking gorgeous!
Yeah I could watch this for hours! Please make more !!
So nice to be able to go to a market and get fresh ingredients!â€ïž
I love how they gave you an extra scoop every time
I love your videos. I can actually cook along and not get confused. Thanks for sharing your life and food.
â€ïž
I want to try it. I havenât had Ghanaian food before, it looks really delicious! I wonder if thereâs any Ghanaian restaurants near me, I will have to do my research, or maybe try to cook it at home! đ
Love this ! God bless
I canât wait to visit â€ïž Sending love from New Orleans
I cannot WAIT to go and visit Ghana soon... I found out I have alot of Ghanian ancestry so I am definitely loving this video
I was surprised to see that the rice fully cooked in so little water!
You donât need much đ€Łđ€·đ»ââïž
Itâs like risotto
Thanks for the lovely video Tatiana. Very interesting to see how different people shop and cook. You're a natural in front of the camera. The jollof looks so good I'm going to try make it đ
I love it đđđ
Just started watching you and I love your accent and the way you do stuff in Ghana đŹđ
Your market traders are so generous x
I like that the friend/family member walked in with a spoon ready to dig in đ„đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
i found yesterday ur channel and I already learned so much about the market, thank u for taking us with u to see the traditional way of shopping . remind me of my childhood days in romania, we have many similar ways of buying fresh food, cooking or prepairing the food. :)
I just watched Mr. Roger video and you were recommended on the sidebar, luv when I find cool videos like this!!!!
It's happy to see you Dear, You are appearing as a Good purchaser and Good cooker in the Country â€â€â€, Nice

Looks delicious, love your cooking itâs so real.
Thanks for the video
You are the best. I am so impressed with your grinding skills.
I love jollof rice, never had it with herring, but I bet it makes it more delicious, Lots of love from brazil!
A few "curry leaves" if added in the oil. would have elevated the flavour to a whole new level đ
Thanks for sharing I enjoyed your video. The food looks very good.
I would love to just travel and see how things are in different cultures. I would just love being there and seeing new things.
Tatiana amazing videođâ€đ

Always love seeing your new videos, wonderful personality đ
Aaawww thanks hun
Westerners are grossed out by salt fish but it's kind of a genius food when you think of it in context the fact that you can dry and preserve a protein sauce whilst also useing it to impart stock and flavour makes it a apsolout staple in hot. country's.
salted fish is great.... us westerners are just not used to flies, dirt and un-refrigerated fish and meat baking in the sun all day....
Speak for yourself
Weâre grossed out by salty fish? News to meâŠ..
Salted fish is a common dish in many "wstern" countries and even Asia. It's the sight of fish being in a hot area, with no protection that gets people a bit worried. But you're right, if it's been preserved correctly, the fish will be okay
...no. Salted fish is very common in the West. If you mean USA just say USA.
The food looks so delicious I like it đ€€
I love your accent. Subscriber from Philippines:)
Everything looks delicious and the vendors give u extra love it
I love going to these markets when Iâm in Africa. Have to visit Ghana one day!
wow amazing thankyou for showing us your culture
Hello, from Texas! Looks so good, I definitely want to try it. Our grinder is a bit different tho itâs stone and we call it a molcajete.
Thanks for sharing never had rice like that I will surely try
