Please refrain from such broad references! As an African--a Nigerian, in particular--this burns me up. Many African countries have several "native languages" and you do them a great disservice by not letting your readers know, especially those who are not Senegalese, which language you have in mind. And it is just lazy. Anyway, great recipe. I'll give it a try. “This traditional salad from Senegal, called salatu niebein in the native language, is a good example”

Anyway, great recipe. I’ll give it a try.
