It is in itself tasteless, but together with the sauce it is excellent. It's a shared meal with everyone sitting on a mat on the floor, breaking off a piece of boule and dipping it in the sauce. Its the staple diet of most people where I lived for several years. It's name comes from the round form given it by the calebasse it's put into.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08136225187552117043noreply@blogger.com
