What can I say about Sierra Leone cuisine? In one sentence. IT IS SPICY! <\/p>\n

I kind of like spicy food but I believe there is a clear boundary between spiciness that enhances flavors and spiciness that kills it. Sierra Leone cuisine is more on the killing side. That said, here are the dishes that I cooked this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
