Talk:Peanut stew

?

I'm not sure where maafe actually originated, but have some doubt that it specifically originated in Mali, as opposed to Senegal or elsewhere in West Africa. Any documentation on this question would be appreciated.

I've seen sources that variously attribute it to Nigeria, Senegal, and elsewhere; it seems to be all over West Africa. I'm going to remove the "originating from Mali" line unless a good source on the subject can be cited. --Soultaco 23:18, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Sierra Leone: The Wikipedia page for Cuisine of Sierra Leone states that this is considered that country's "national dish." I'm not claiming it was invented there (I don't even have an opinion on that topic), but I think Sierra Leone should at least be mentioned in this article somewhere.Kevin Borland, Esq.

Generic sense of "sauce" in Fula

In the Fula language (at least outside of Senegal) maafe has a more generic meaning of "sauce," esp. for rice as I remember (in Fulfulde of Mali oro was the usual name for sauce eaten with toyoori - a kind of thickened porridge or pâte in French). In Pular of Guinea also, maafe is more generic and followed by a modifier to indicate the main ingredient of the sauce - maafe haako bantara, maafe haako pute, maafe tiga, etc. I recall going to Senegal from Mali and noting that maafe meant a particular kind of sauce and dish. Is it from Pulaar or Wolof? --A12n 02:05, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Origin of dish should be rightfully attributed to the Bambara people and Mandinka people of Mali.

The origin of this dish should be rightfully attributed to the originators of it. That is, the Bambara people and Mandinka people from Mali. It is neither Wolof nor Fula in origin. They may have their own version of it and change it "slightly" (and I emphasise the word "slightly") but it originated from Mali. I speak as a Serer so I should know. Just like several Serer cultural, religious, historical, words or events, etc, are being wrongly attributed to the Wolof people. I came upon this article when I was editing and sourcing the West Africa article (under Culture - Cuisine) which is poorly sourced just like this article. As I was looking for any Wiki links to Mafé, I came upon this page. Find below my full entries about this dish with sources which have not yet been pasted onto that page as I'm still writing them down:

"Mafé" from Mali (Note: Mafé is a Wolof word for it, the proper name is "Domodah" among the Mandinka people of Senegal and Gambia who are the originators of this dish or "Tigh-dege-na" among the Bambara people or Mandinka people of Mali, "Domodah" is also used by all Senegambians borrowed from the Mandinka language) - a peanut butter stew served with rice (Source: James McCann. Stirring the pot: a history of African cuisine, p132. Ohio University Press, 2009. ISBN 0896802728) See also: (Emma Gregg, Richard Trillo. Rough guide to the Gambia, p39. Rough Guides, 2003. ISBN 184353083X).

Please provide sources to African related articles and properly attribute cultural, historical, religious words etc, to their proper ethnic group. We are all Africans and cultural borrowing is great but proper attributions should be made if not for anything to enhance knowledge. True Africanist like myself and several others here work tireless to improve African related articles. Some people are just writing anything they like without sources. This is not professional.

I've added this article to my watchlist and I'll re-edit it after I've finished cleaning up other articles. Tamsier (talk) 11:43, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
