To put it simply, the food in Ghana is delicious. However, that does not mean that I did not have to adjust to it. Back home in New York, I normally eat a small bowl of oatmeal and two eggs for breakfast. Oh—and a big cup of coffee, the most important part! For lunch I might have a sandwich or a salad with fresh fruit. As for dinner, I have the best food in the world; a big bowl of spaghetti. After living in Ghana for a couple of months, my meals do not look the same as they do at home. For breakfast, I have two thick slices of bread with a locally made chocolate spread, but no coffee since coffee is hard to find. Lunch changes every day, but I always eat some form of rice with a side of fried chicken. Since arriving in the country, I actually have not eaten dinner too many times. My lunches are normally very big and leave me full for the rest of the day. Rice, yams, noodles, plantains, beans, and cabbage are some examples of the abundant foods here in Ghana. They are used in different dishes that are filling, yet I still cannot get enough of them!
