Na I don't like that fish. The onions inside will make you have bad mouth odor.

To prepare stuff like diz for naija now one would cough out more than 8k walahi

COMRADES, it looks yummy like a beautiful lady

Looks like Mammywater Delicacy

Ebo .. only the vulture can eat this

Yes with white rice

with that fresh onions?

Just this today Sunday I ate cocoyam leaves...

And banku.

Now I have eaten this combination before.(cocoyam leaves and banku) I had my throat scratching me through out the day the first time.

The second time I saw it at a restaurant I ordered it... Because it looked enticing because they added Egusi. I had same effect or result- itchy throat.

Now back to today I was with this person. And she managed to convince me that cocoyam leaves don't cause scratching throat.... According to her maybe it wasn't prepared very well the first and second time I ate ... Hers was different and would not be same.

Ok... Let me try.

So she brings 2 wrapped bankus and... well, some cocoyam leaves mixed with Egusi. Looked really good. Most Ghanian dishes (my opinion) doesn't really look good. This one looks good to go. So I decide inside me... yeah, she is right. Here's is a different mix. Probably home made.

So I dip the banku in the soup and swallow, left for about 2 morsels of banku. But end up with a damn scratchy throat. She ends up consoling me and recommends I get some syrup, or sweet at a pharmacy which I forget the name now. (I didn't get, but OK now.)

Now to your picture... It's just ground pepper and onions in that mix. Maybe a bit of shitoh at the side I see.

I have eaten this mix before and I can tell you it's just bland old peppers. The only thing exciting here will be the fish. That's all.

I personally think Ghanaians just cook and eat just to survive. Not for any form of variety or to make eating interesting. I get bored just thinking of their meals and eating becomes a chore. That is me personally.

Looking at the picture I just think we fantasize about things we don't have or never tried before. That is why the grass is always greener on the other side.

I mean, who would think anyone would ever fantasize about eating peppers and fish? 🤷

Seems very basic!

People openly admit to doing banku now?

Mix am with rice, your brain go use style reboot.

Date a Ghanaian girl and you go know sey dem better pass Nigerian girls in bed and in the kitchen. Only Calabar girls dey next to dem.

I don't know what this dish is called, but it certainly looks interesting.

From my observation, I think grinded fresh peppers is the base (Ghanaians eat peppers raw quite a lot), then seasoned and garnished with other orisirisi.

Would you try this interesting dish?
If you would, what food would you eat it with?
For me, I think I can dare to try it with rice.
I'm quite sure it has a nice aroma.

Ghanian dishes are generally good.

I remember one Ghanaian lady that lived with us some years back, she prepares a dish called kenke ( don't know if I got the name right) that looks like this one you posted. That dish is usually eaten with grounded corn that is molded and then baked. Mehn the gravy has a lot of pepper in it.

Dude don't eat that stuff again. It seems u might be allergic to the cocoyam leaves or something before u die of a reaction or anaphylactic shock. Your body gave u signs but u still went ahead.

Edit: Just read up on it and saw they tend to each when not prepared properly, so no allergic reaction here.

When I was in Ghana we eat this with Kenkey or banku. Here in Naija I will go with yam or plantain

I will admire it very well, snap sweet pictures of it...!

When I'm done... I will safely observe others eat it.

I like adventure, but I don't experiment with my stomach.

Rice
Beans
Rice and beans
Quinoa
Black rice

Practically anything you scoop and chew. Might even try it with flat bread Indian style.

That's an interesting culinary review. It seems you're fully based in Ghana.

I can't share foods meant for the gods. It's an abomination in my place.

Although,i have eat it before but i know i will love it.

Markkito:
You saying Ghanaians we don't eat leafy vegetables etc. We're eating raw ground tomatoes, peppers and onions which's healthier than frying these vegetables in oil like you like to do, that one too you don't like? You people eat raw garden eggs etc. the 'braised rice (angwa mo literally oil rice) with raw ground pepper etc is very nice

Why do you think raw tomatoes, peppers and onions are healthier than fried ones?

It tastes great.
Taste better than many Nigerian meals.
My favorite ghana meal is wakkye, God bless the people that discovered that food.

brain54:
Oh MJ...

I don't have a biased mind towards food. I normally like to try new food. Different cultures. Anything. So I am not rejecting.

Cocoyam leaf is a delicacy in ghana o. It's called contomere and I once heard a Nigerian presenter on radio argue with another Ghanian presenter that no one eats it in Nigeria and its poor people food the way they attacked her. Even though I noticed she was trying to be careful with her words.

They really don't have leaves in ghana. Although depending on the area one resides. Cabbage and lettuce is more common. Imagine cooking Egusi with cabbage or lettuce.

They will be exited... They are always proud of what they have. I once heard a Ghanian say banku is the best food in the WORLD... Someone who has never traveled out of Ghana before. (Which I like them for their patriotism)

I don really suffer for food matter though... I have a dentist friend who we once went to market to buy stuff together. We bought stuff... G/oil, tomatoes, pepper etc. Me thinking we were going to cook stew and rice.

Only for him to boil rice and and start using their local mortar to mash pepper, tomatoes and onions. Which is the black bowl in the picture and serves as a mortar for blending and plate or bowl for eating. (which is basically the stuff in the picture you posted) when he started adding the vegetable oil I asked him what he was doing he said he was making stew. It was late but I insisted he fry and cook the pepper Abi sauce the normal way before we ate that night. Imagine just boiling rice and add ground pepper and tomatoes with oil.

I don't know if it has a different name... But everyone calls it pepper with whatever maybe because they know I am Nigerian.

I will find out if it has a different local name!

Dokunu,koko and wanshe were food I enjoyed eating here before I started visiting Ghana. It was in Ghana I got to know dokunu goes well with okro. And anytime I planned to eat at the roadside I had to come along with barbecue fish,the sight of those fingerlings abi kidnapped underage fishes displayed by dokunu sellers don't look appealing to me

I can not eat their rice because it is half done. Ghana used to be a delightful place to be

Abeg serve senior man with chilled Trophy beer🍺 and me enjoy the dish. My love for spicy food is second to none. The Egusi and bitter leaf soup I prepared on Saturday I used mixed1k fresh pepper. 500 naira red pepper and 500 yellow pepper 🌶️. I ate with semovita.

It was spicy and drove the cold away.

This one na sacrifice,Ghanians no match up jare

The topic should be like..


Can you eat this sacrifice from Ghana?

It's actually a Cotonou, Benin Republic delicacy; they call it imoyo in Badagry....I ate so much of it in early 2000 while I was supervising a building construction

😋

@ Mariangeles, we are looking forward to the day that you will officially eat swallow food

Hehe. It's mostly semi-raw peppers, to make a semi-raw gravy. They would normally take this with 'Kenke' or Banku. And they sure Love this with roasted Tilapia fish.

Ghanaians sure do know their fish. They'd tell You exactly the type of fish they are eating. They also sell a tiny specie of fish, really tiny, I think it's called 'One man million'.

Some other Ghanian foods are Coconte, fufu, Waakye(pronounced wache).
Soups are Palm nut soup, Groundnut soup(not very nice), Lite soup(fiery and nice, like peppersoup) and normal Okro soup.
