A Guinean chef stocks this good-looking steam table, enticing many West African guys who work at the garment businesses nearby. Since it's priced by the pound, weight-conscious customers may care to know that in the sampler at top, the potato-leaf sauce is light on bones, both fish and goat; the kidneys, also goat, I believe, contain no bones at all ($2.50, at $5.99 per pound).
Also shown: a sliced-open Scotch egg and two more meaty sauces. The paler was a sauce arachide, with a peanut base. The darker had an almost lush vegetal fragrance; I didn't catch the name.
