At a dibiterie in Dakar, all types of meats come skewered, chopped, roasted, and steamed to perfection
There’s a tradition when you eat in Senegal: If someone sits down next to you, you invite them to come share. It’s good manners, a form of teranga, or “hospitality,” in the native tongue, Wolof. Even if the person declines — also customary — it’s still a good way to start a conversation at restaurants.
Dibi simply means “grilled meat” in Wolof, and it refers to a family of cooking methods from across West Africa. It includes a range of meats — including game like antelope and wild hogs in some parts of the country, and occasionally fish from Senegal’s long coastline — though in the majority-Muslim country the most common choice is lamb.
Survey the options on the grill, and give your order, typically by the kilo . Senegalese like to cook everything well-done, for the most part; you can specify otherwise, though the chef may give you a look. Just be prepared to wait; it can take forever for dibi to arrive because cooks start it from scratch the moment you place your order.
