Pl. III The Verger Table · Adoukoffikro

The table

One ruby red you drink,
one red you eat

Bissap is ruby red and translucent in the glass. Palm-nut sauce is deep orange and rich on the plate, known by the palm oil that rises once it's ready. Two reds, two registers, one table.

The kitchen

No fixed menu, today's pot

Pounded foutou and kabato, palm-nut sauce in red palm oil, sauce feuille, smoked fish and wood-fire grills: the Verger Table's kitchen follows what the estate and nearby markets provide, not a menu printed once and for all. Vegetarian dishes are offered at every service.

You can tell a good palm-nut sauce by its oil: when a thin, deep-orange layer rises to the surface, that's the cooks' signal to serve.

The estate's juices

Four colours, none of them blue

Bissap is ruby red, translucent against the light. Baobab is milky and pale. Tamarind is light brown. Ginger stays sharp and cloudy. These are the juices pressed and infused on the estate, alongside a selection of alcoholic and alcohol-free drinks.
