Ingredients for
A Near Perfect Dinner:- nondescript blue and white building (aka a restaurant)
- t.v. playing Latino or Senegalese soap operas
- plastic chairs and table
- ridiculously small kitchen
- room temperature Gazelles
- yassa poulet
- broken rice
- no electricity on the second night
- candle light
- locals drinking palm wine
Oh man! We had the best dinner out at the local (and I believe
only) restaurant in Palmarin. The building was dingy, the t.v. was behind a metal grating and constantly played soaps, but you could tell this was the place to be SEEN in Palmarin. We were pretty much celebrities being the only tourists in the room, and everyone was super friendly. This was the sort of place frequented by locals, and it was pretty cool because most people around Palmarin spoke some English because of the close proximity to The Gambia (where English is spoken opposed to French).
To sum it up, it was one of the best meals I've ever had. We loved it so much we went back the next night, but due to my broken French, we ate fish that time instead of the more beloved chicken. Still delicious though!
