I have been asked about food in Ghana. So let me give you a short
(not very comprehensive but more personal) overview about what I have been
eating here. My favorite Ghanaian dish is Red Red (rice and beans cooked in
lots of red palm oil, served with fried plantains). I have also tried Banku
(made of fermented maize or cassava, and of course I have eaten yam (boiled and
chips).

Fufu (similar to Banku, but made of cassava, plantain or
yam) and Banku are probably the most popular and well known dishes in Ghana.
Food usually is quite spicy, served in lots of red palm oil. As I don’t eat
meat my usual vegetarian option is Fried Rice, available throughout the country. Fish
(fresh- or saltwater) is also widely available. And I can never get enough of
those delicious mangoes or sweet pineapples… So, I was not starving here. But I
am looking forward to same fresh salad at home!
More to come,
Cynthia
