Last night, Julie, me and Jasmine's adopted-big-sister, made a delicious Italian-dish with polenta. I had never tried polenta before, but as I watched it cooking, it reminded me of something I had eaten before in Mali: Kaba-toh!
Now granted, toh is overall disgusting for my taste, but kaba-toh is tolerable. It's pounded corn mix that's boiled and stirred into a thick porridge and left to congeal. And this is exactly what Julie made, but she made a sauce, not made out of leaves and dried fish, but a thick tomato, mushroom and leek based sauce with italian-sausage. Mmmmmm. It was so good, that I had to have seconds.
I can't wait to tell my family about "Italian-toh!"
