"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
We (Joseph Esry's cousins) lived in Mali, Africa for 17 years. Traditionally, this is a celebratory dish to be shared by a family or group out of one pot. To eat the dish, they put rice in their right hand, scoop the stew mixture on top, and then squeeze it into a sort of rice ball to ladle into their mouth. The warm flavors of the tiga dege na are perfect for a comforting fall dinner!
