A restaurant that will deliver....?

Cooked food I don’t think that is possible…


Raw food stuffs- yes.

I actually thought Indian dishes are similar to Nigerian foods…
I usually brag to my Ghanian friends that Indians are the only Africans that can give Nigerian dishes a run for their money when it comes to dishes.
You should try ghanian dishes though…I shoulder just thinking of the watery soups I eat here!

Wow! Thanks though...
I do hope someone comes up with something.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

To be honest, most, if not all, Ghanaian soups do not look appealing.

Why don't you try replicating some Nigerian dishes with the ingredients you can lay your hands on over there?
Like what and what Nigerian foods do you crave?

If I were you though, I'd just explore their foods. They mostly look like something I would enjoy.

Ghanaians can’t cook to save their lives…


But don’t tell them that. Except you want world war 3 to happen.

I don chop Banku and groundnut soup tire here. So boring when it comes to food. I eat here like I am taking medicine just to survive.
But I recently found somewhere I can get Nigerian foodstuffs here. Nigerian rice inclusive…egusi, ogbono etc.
Their rice is different…smells like perfume was added .
It’s expensive though…but who cares.

mariahAngel:


Hahahahahahahahahahaha

People that can grind pepper and tomatoes…


Slice onions…



And start eating banku. Food is ready.

I am not exaggerating here o!

I've heard a lot about their "famous" perfumed rice, which they seem to love so much.
I can't even imagine how rice can be perfumed.

Waakye seem to be their only food I'd be willing to try.
Their kelewele too.
Have you tried their garri fotor?

Nigerian foods are expensive over there? Wow!

I know. I've seen it.

What's that their local mortar called? (The one that they use to smash the peppers and onions.)

When I came Waakye was the only food I could stand especially when it comes to rice( I still am not used to the white rice)
But with time it got boring too…Ghanaians don’t explore. Go to different restaurants and the food taste same. Not like Nigeria where for instance different ways of cooking a particular food. E.g egusi…different people will cook it differently in creative ways you can’t imagine. Giving it different taste.
Ghana every damn person cooks same. Same taste for particular meals.

Since I came here I have only eaten like 3 different type of soup. Apart from pepper and onions. (Cos I don’t consider that one soup)

And believe me I am not too picky or selective when it comes to food o. But Ghana own worse.


O.P is complaining or Indian. She should try Ghana. She go beg.


Food here is like medicine. Me when like food that year… I eat here just to survive.

No emotions attached!

When it comes to food, Nigerians are really creative. I'll give us that.
I'd say we underestimate ourselves, but then again, we don't. We know our (foods') worth.

No wonder many Ghanaian food bloggers (including food bloggers from other African countries) love following Nigerian food bloggers on Instagram.
I have some Ghanaian food bloggers that I follow also.

Sure…


We under value ourselves. Always thinking foreign is better. But really Nigeria is one of the best and blessed countries in the world. I only got to know that in my sojourn here…it’s not me being patriotic. It’s the truth.

You follow ghanian food bloggers…? Pray what do you hope to learn…? How to grind pepper?

Not to sound too negative let me think of a food I actually enjoy…will get back to you on that!
At least some thing positive to take away.





Thinking…….

There must be one at least.

I tried their crayfish sauce...but I think Nigeria way of making it is nice. That's called shito right ?

My grandma and my mom made the best crayfish sauce. I like eating it with yam or rice.

Just oil, onions, pepper and blended crayfish.
I hope to make it one day.

They also use lots and lots of onions, garlic and ginger to make that shito sauce.
The flavour must be really really intense.

I didn't like it after tasting it. Just tasted but didn't continue eating.
I don't like garlic in Africa sauces- ginger ok but not garlic. I don't bother with shito anymore.

They don’t use crayfish for shito…

They no get time for that kind paparazzi o.


Mainly black pepper and the rest stuff you mentioned. Plenty ginger…

Taste good though. I like it!

Really?
The one I watched on YouTube made by one top Ghanaian food vlogger/blogger, she used lots of crayfish, fresh shrimps, dried prawns...

It seemed like something I might like. Maybe.
Although, I don't like garlic that much, because the flavour is too intense and overpowering.

Okay…
I haven’t seen most of them use crayfish in meals before though…
They use mainly ginger and garlic to spice food.
Even crayfish I can’t find to buy in the market here. Except few shops were Nigerian foodstuffs are sold.
Ghanaian dishes are simple and basic. Not much spices or seasoning.
Some of those food bloggers borrow a lot from Nigerian meals.

This is my opinion though…and from my personal experience here.

You see, that is the thing with most food bloggers.
They deviate from the original recipe, and teach people something else, and if the recipe is foreign to you, you might never know how the original recipe is made.

That is why it is good to preserve/teach original recipes, instead of modified ones, for the sake of those who don't know.

True M.A.


But honestly if modifying or deviation from the original recipe will improve or make the meal better then I don’t have a problem with that.

I feel most recipes have been modified over time. Especially our meals on Nigeria. Nothing wrong with being creative with meals.


Food should not be boring jare…but as you said original recipes can be taught…but the cook can be creative.

I like garlic but not in stews or some other African dishes.

I make the bombest crayfish sauce but the smell...When I make it, my neighbor watering her lawn would be like having that curious looks on her face ... maybe thinking should I ask what was that aroma (smell)

In a good or bad way?

I think the smell has to do with the drying process, packaging and handling to the extent that some dried seafood doesn't smell good.
