The hotel in Bamako where I have always been staying since I started working for IICD in Mali seven years ago, has recently opened up a restaurant. The ‘Grill Chez Jean-Claude’ offers exactly what it promises: good grills. An unsuspected nice extra feature of the restaurant is the English translation of its menu. “All is accompaniments with the choice are been useful with the grills”, it states mysteriously, while the starters section offers “Pork Butchery” (Assiette charcutière), and “Grills furnished” (Grillades garnies). Also highly recommended: “Shrimp Lawyer” (Avocat Crevette) or “Lawyer Vinegar” (Avocat Vinaigrette). Long live Babelfish automatic translations!
