A white ceramic plate with a brown striped rim holds two irregular white mounds of a dough-like staple food submerged in a green, viscous stew. The stew contains visible leafy vegetables and light brown legumes, and is topped with a concentrated sprinkle of red chili flakes or ground pepper. The plate rests on a mottled brown and beige surface, consistent with a wooden or tiled countertop. The scene is located in Gombe, Nigeria.
