Jaime Oliver's West African rice recipe gets no love from West Africans
Jamie Oliver's recipe for a traditional dish popular in West Africa did not go down well with the people who grew up eating it.
The recipe for jollof rice was first uploaded onto his website in June and there it sat for months without anyone noticing, reported BBC trending.
It was only recently that West Africans started to react to it - and it hasn't been pretty.
There are even two hashtags, #jollofgate and #jollof on Twitter.

A spokesperson for Jaime Oliver though told BBC trending that he did not mean to offend anyone and that was why the recipe was labelled "Jamie's twist" on jollof rice when it was uploaded.
Sure Jaime.
