Hilda Baci, a popular chef, has weighed in on the Ghanaian jollof vs Nigerian jollof argument.
Baci claims that Ghanaian jollof “has no flavor” and that Nigerian jollof is superior.
The former Guinness World Record holder claims to have tasted both Ghanaian and Nigerian jollof and can attest that Nigerian jollof is superior.
Hilda stated on the current episode of the 90s Baby Show, “Nigerian jollof is actually better than Ghanaian jollof.”
I’ve been to Ghana and I’ve eaten their jollof. I’ve done a jollof competition with a Ghanaian chef who made his best representation of Ghanaian jollof and I’ve seen the recipes.
But with Nigerian jollof, Nigerians don’t play about flavour.”
According to Platinum Times, Hilda Baci overcame Ghana’s Leslie Kumordzie to win the Jollof Face-off Competition in 2021.
She was awarded $5,000 for her achievement.
