      Yup! Our Jamaican cousins took it to the "new world". Zobo is drunk in different variations all across the West African coast & I'm still partial to Zobo from Nigeria. The hibiscus just has a yummy, wine-like, umami-floral flavor that the flor de Jamaica or Caribbean sorrel transplants just don't.

You can cook it for longer and let it get tender but Nigerians got strong ass teeth and enjoy tough meat too) with griess or rice. Griess is a great alternative for anyone that doesn't like Fufu.

    Is there a rule/ tendency for the regions? What makes your jollof rice special and unique in your area? Or do you already know the answer to my question? I am curious. And thank in advance for the affort to reply ❤️
