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!

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!

Their banku and tilapia is good sef

The one wey I no understand say Dem dey chop na bole na groundnut

Who does that?

No, food wey dey like ebo

Wats d name of d gods tht eats this

Ghana and shrine plate pot to eat be like 5&6

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

I was in Ghana for studies. Your food can cause alot of gastrointestinal issues; such as kooko, ulcers etc.. I love the angwa mo you wrote about, but I take it with beef tomatoe stew not the raw grinded pepper..

What kind of shrine is that

This is a peppered mixture used in eating what they call Kenkey ... Of a truth Ghanians no get food walahi, my then girlfriend Veronica was always hyping and cooking their Ghana jellof and fried chicken for me, till i showed her my mastery in cooking not only our Niegerian jollof and other delicasies , she no dey play with my foods, she even dey invite some of her relatives to come and have a taste of my cookings, of a truth that girl sabi knack well well but trouble burst when i told her that i will never marry her because i will marry my beautiful igbo girl, that girl did everything to make me marry her to no avail, she later wanted me to rot in jail but my legitimacy made even her fellow Ghanian men and women to dey against her because they all know me to be a cool, simple and also a vgnerous Nigerian man that doesnt live my life over there as all those Warri and Beni boys wey dey press computer and always display rascality lifestyles everywhere they are.

Finally Ghana sweet but not more than Nigeria shaa, but Buhari and Tinubu regime makes it look like Canada now where Nigeria dey.

Where is egg?

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.

l have eaten this food before,there is nothing spectacular about it...the only thing good about it is the fish... there is Ghanaian woman that sell Ghana food way back and the have taste some Ghanaian food in those days menhhh.....it is just hype nothing dey special at times you finish eating the meal you end up with diarrhea.

I know vitamin c in them is easily lost to heat.

Then you're majoring on the minor since you can easily get your vitamin C from FRUITS..

The major
1. Some other nutrients in them are brought out by heat.
2. The antinutrients in tomatoes and peppers are destroyed by heat.
3. Raw onions are too harsh for most people's stomach and can do physical damage, especially if you have ulcer. Better to steam it lightly.

Nice write-up and spot on too.

typical Ghanaian ..


Have you ever eaten banku ..


The soup consist of raw tomatoes ( I think it's a little per boiled), shitan, okro, raw onions and fish( fried fish) ..


Ghanaian foods are generic ...

That’s a very good analysis.

Ekg911:
When I was in Ghana we eat this with Kenkey or banku. Here in Naija I will go with yam or plantain

that kenkey be like dokunu ..
.just googled it .

Bitterkola100:
It tastes great.
Taste better than many Nigerian meals.
My favorite ghana meal is wakkye, God bless the people that discovered that food.

remove the shitoh .. it's just another bland food

sowunmisho:
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.

Nyame shraö

they have this food in which rice is marshed until it almost has the same texture with semo .. it's eaten with a part icular brown soup made from groundnut ..

Don't know what's called but it's hella spicy 🥵🥵🥵

same way your favorite food is bland to another person from a different clime.

There's absolutely nothing bland about wakkye, i prefer it to jollof and fried rice.

Take away the shittan and it's just basically eating rice and beans without no stew ..
