Supplemental context
Jollof rice supports many regional variations and strong attachments to particular ways of cooking. The shared name does not require one authoritative recipe or winner in playful rivalries. Future readers can compare named cooks and local versions while recognizing how migration, hospitality and everyday preference give a dish its social life.
Creator/community: West African cooks, households and diaspora communities Place/era: West Africa; diverse regional jollof traditions with Wolof-linked naming
Context and limits
The reused illustration was made for a specific Ghanaian example associated with Gladys Sala Petey, with chicken, carrots and cabbage. It is not her actual plate, a Senegalese standard or a universal jollof recipe. Regional rivalry should not be used to erase differences or make exclusive ownership claims.
