Gambia

Chakery

I will confess that this dessert didn't sound that appealing from the get go. However, I was hopeful. It seems popular enough in Gambia, and there must be a reason for that, right? Well, if there is, I haven't found it.

It basically tastes exactly like you would expect it to: like yogurt with pineapple, only a bit more sour.
