The United Nations’ cultural agency UNESCO added Senegal’s national dish, a rice-and-fish platter called ‘thiebou dieune’, to its cultural heritage list. “Thiebou dieune” means “rice with fish” in Senegal’s dominant Wolof language. It is often prepared with vegetables such as a cassava or tomato, and served at lunch. SEYLLOU / AFP
