It is also consumed in Mauritania and Gambia.
Thiere is very versatile and can be eaten with fermented milk or cream and sugar as a breakfast cereal or prepared just as a standard couscous. Although it can be eaten as a breakfast or at lunch, it is usually eaten at night. After the Serer women have performed the physically demanding pounding of the millet by hand using a large traditional pestle and mortar, they will add baobab leaf (lalo) to it to give it a nice and smooth texture and enhance the taste. It can be eaten with base - which is a form of peanut butter stew (of groundnut paste), and can be eaten with meat, fish, or vegetables.
