Find a local chop shop or small restaurant: Chicken Palm Butter Soup over Rice

  • This is not butter and not really a soup, but really a sauce place over rice. You can not find it many places in the world, and nowhere is it as good as made in Liberia. This food will make any place you find it special. I guess you could find some bad palm butter --maybe too much oil or not enough or too much pepper, but not in Liberia.

    For me this is a world class Liberian meal. The sauce is made from fresh palm nuts. (The canned palm butter from Ghana is not an adequate substitute.) It requires cooking and mashing plus adding some pepper. Of course, you can use other meat, but for me chicken is best.

    I am sorry that I can not describe the taste, you will just have to try it.

  • Small roadside restaurants called "cook shops" are quite good and often feature "jollof rice" along with an array of tasty stews. Most cooking is done outdoors on a three-stone hearth. Very atmospheric!

    You'll find dishes like goat soup, cabbage cooked with bacon and pigs feet, sweet-potato leaves with fish, palm nuts with shrimp in fish or chicken stock, and dried fish. My favorite is "check rice, a combination of rice and platto leaves or okra.

    For dessert you might try sweet-potato, coconut or pumpkin pie. For those with less of a sweet tooth, the Liberian rice bread is actually made with mashed bananas and is delicious! Beware for the allergic: peanuts are used in cookies and desserts of all kinds.

    Wash all this down with a cool gigner beer!

    This was the only functioning restaurant in Ganta; a place for expats mainly. We had dinner in this place twice, together with our hosts and friends, and had a great time there.
