Recipe for Authentic African Fun Stew

Ingredients:

1 rusty mid-sized car or old van
1 cassette either Shady Baby/Bu Berry/Nigerian Music
7-8 passengers for the car, 12+ for the van ( at least a few males in case push start is needed)
1-3 Chickens in a rice bag ( one goat will do)
Plenty of luggage/bags for everyone's laps
1 driver that insists on turning off the engine every downhill
1 working horn to use repeatedly (the crazier the better!!)
A few stickers (Favorite soccer team, Obama, Madonna, or Cobra Commander)
5000 Leones at least ( for snacks)
1-2 weird smells (sweat, cacao beans, oil, petrol, animals, ect.)
Random ringing phones
Broken windows and doors (peeling tint is optional)
Bad tires/suspension/balance really add additional flavor


Directions:

Take one vehicle and gut the inside. Add benches and seats to the whole vehicle. The more uncomfortable the better. Remove seat belts. Take all the passengers and mix. Throw them into the vehichle and make sure they are all touching. Crammed is best. Add a few smells here and there and a chicken under foot. Make sure to have plenty of luggage on the roof/trunk and all over everyones laps. Insert cassette and play at least three times over and over. Make sure to have a few thousand leones for snacks along the way. Stop every few miles and yell at someone. Pick up and drop up passengers all along the way. A person sharing the seat with the driver really adds some heat! Practice negotiating price. Its fun!!!
