Carabane, Senegal - Delfini, plaja si nuci de cocos / Dolphins, beach and coconuts

<< Senegal Street Food - Burgers La pescuit de baracuda pe Casamance / Baracuda fishing on the Casamance >>
XYZ


Daca tot n-am ce face in weekend, mi-am luat lumea'n cap si am plecat de nebun pe o insula din zona. A iesit cam ca in videoul de mai jos:

Invataturi de minte:

  • sa iau pasaportul la mine, sau macar o copie dupa toate paginile, sa nu mai am probleme cu jandarmii. Dar o atitudine corecta si posibil cateva mii de franci rezolva orice, oricum :)
  • pe cat posibil sa merg cu cineva care cunoaste locul, de preferat sa nu fie alb. As fi scutit o gramada de bani si posibil cateva fire de par alb
  • cand zice un localnic: "las'ca fac sa fie bine", nivelul asteptarilor trebuie sa tinda catre 0
  • sa fac rost de o camera mai buna ca durat mai mult sa editez sunetul la film decat sa vizitez insula
Weekendul viitor mergeem la pescuit de barracuda :D
------

To avoid getting bored this weekend too, I went on a crazy trip to a local island. See the video below

To remember for next time:

  • bring my passport, or a full copy of all pages. But anyway, a good attitude and several thousand francs solve any problem
  • if possible go with a local that knows the place, preferably not a white guy. I would have saved quite some money and some white hairs
  • when a local says "i'll take care of it, it's going to be good", your expectations should drop to 0
  • get a better camera - it took me more time to fix the sound of the video than to visit the island

Next weekend we're going barracuda fishing!


(calitatea audio nu e stralucita, recomand sa utilizati subtitrarile)
(the audio quality is not that good, use subtitles - well, you would already be doing that unless you understand Romanian)
Bonus:
Coloana sonora este o parodie la un superhit african, in care parodie se canta despre cum se face Thiere, o mancare senegaleza, un fel de couscous facut din mei. Melodia originala e in descrierea clipului pe youtube.

The soundtrack is a parody of an African superhit, in which they sing about how to make Thiere, a type of Senegalese couscous made from millet. The original song is linked on the clip description on youtube.

Senegal Street Food - Burgers

<< Africani gusta mancare romaneasca. Episodul 1:Dulceata / Africans taste Romanian food. Episode 1: Jam Carabane, Senegal - Delfini, plaja si nuci de cocos / Doplhins, beach and coconuts >>

In Senegal, una dintre cele mai populare mancaruri de fast-food este hamburger-ul. Este un hamburger special, facut parca dupa reteta shaormei romanesti: cu de toate.

Chifla: o chifla dreptunghiulara, pufoasa care aduce mai mult a cozonac decat a paine. Probabil are mult zahar. Cred ca se face special pentru hamburgeri, pentru ca nu am vazut-o la vanzare in alta parte. E rumena si gustoasa.
Carnea: sursa carnii prefer sa nu o cunosc, dupa ce am vazut pe la piata de carne. Carnea este tocată , amestecata cu ceapa prajita si condimente. Nu este compacta ci imprastiata, ca la shaorma
Celelate ingrediente: se adauga salata, rosii, branza si evident cartofi prajiti. Elementul care m-a surprins insa este oul prajit, pe care il gasesti in orice hamburger.
Sosuri: ketchup si maioneza sunt standard, insa poti adauga mustar si sos (foarte) iute
Pret: undeva intre 1300 si 1800 FCFA (2-2.5 EUR) in functie de locatie
Calorii: fara numar. Pot fi arse cu o sesune de Bubble Football

Vine invelit in hartie cerata - de care chiar este nevie, pentru ca este foarte suculent.

Nota 10!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Senegal, one of the most popular fast-food items is the hamburger. The Senegalese have their special take on the hamburger and make it with everything.


Bun: a rectangular bun, fluffy and very sweet. I think it is made with a lot of sugar only for hamburgers, since i haven't it for sale in any other places. It has a nice brown color from the oven and it is very tasty.
The Patty: it's not as much a patty as just a loose mixture of minced meat with onions and spices. I'd prefer not to know the source of the meat, after what I've seen in the animal market
Other ingredients: they add lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and obviously fries. What surprised me is the fried egg present in every hamburger
Sauces: ketchup and mayo are standard. You can also get mustard and (very) hot sauce
Prices: somewhere between 1300 and 1800 FCFA (2-2.5 EUR)
Calories: infinite.Can be burned with a session of Bubble Football

It comes wrapped in wax paper - and you need it, since it is very juicy!

A+!
