...baguettes and Dijon mustard, legacies of French colonial rule. Sample this melting pot at Chez Mimi, tel: (221) 823 9788, or Keur Ndeye, tel: (221) 821 4973, both in the capital, Dakar. But if you want something that's all Senegalese, order the national dish of tieboudienne - a spicy fish and tomato rice - and a round of attaya, which is tea with mint. Served in tiny cups, attaya is a generations-old ritual. Best of all, there's not a scary flavor enhancer in sight...
