Get your Tastebuds Ready! MAGGI Nigeria and Kitchen Butterfly are set to Give you the Tastiest Time Ever on World Jollof Rice Day! | This Sunday, August 21st

Call it One-pot, call it Wolof, call it the Jollof rice that we know it as, whatever you know it as we can all agree that it is a way of life for us.

Whether we are arguing with the Ghanaians and Senegalese about who does it better, whether we’re disagreeing with Jamie Oliver’s version, one thing that stands is that we collectively agree that Jollof Rice is important! Party Jollof o, your mummy’s Jollof rice or the perfectly garnished Jollof rice (complete with the sole bay leaf) at a fine dining restaurant… Jollof Rice remains bae!

So, in reaffirming the importance of Jollof rice to everyone who has ever appreciated the smoky flavourful dish, MAGGI Nigeria and Kitchen Butterfly have organized a special event to celebrate World Jollof Rice Day, Monday, August 22nd 2016 – Jollof-Rice Lovers Unite!
