Why doesn’t street-food ever taste the same when made at home? Have scientists explored that topic yet? Nevertheless, making suya at home is still very much worth it. The peanut and chili coating add a wonderful kick to the meat. In Côte d’Ivoire, the grilled meat itself is called choukouya and the pepper mix is served separately, as a dip. The aromas are wonderful either way.
