📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Bouillie means 'porridge' in French and is a Chadian breakfast staple. Millet or maize flour is mixed with water and cooked, soured with lemon or tamarind, and sweetened with sugar. Ground peanuts are sometimes added, and young and old alike eat it almost like a drink.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a Chadian market in the morning, warm porridge is ladled from a big pot into bowls and sprinkled with sugar.
