Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local supermarkets or grocery stores in The Gambia, particularly in areas like Serrekunda or Banjul. For the cheese and ham, check the refrigerated sections of larger retailers. If you prefer a substitute, any mild, melting cheese can replace the mozzarella, and sliced poultry or beef deli meat can be used instead of ham.
