- The scepticism arose following an interview where Baci expressed a preference for Nigerian jollof over Ghanaian jollof
Some Ghanaians are expressing scepticism over Hilda Baci's Guinness World Record for the longest cook time, asserting that the recognition is for duration rather than culinary excellence.
Chip Chippin, a Ghanaian, posted on social media, stating,
"She was recognized by Guinness World Records as having the longest cook time, not the best cook. Madam, we forgive you."
The comments emerged following an interview where Baci declared Nigerian jollof as superior to its Ghanaian counterpart.
