Tasting delicious Ghanaian dishes is always fun. Although I'm a little picky, I still try to keep an open mind when trying new dishes. One important rule to remember is never eat food that is served cold or that's been sitting out for too long. Since the food is natural, without chemically-added materials, bacteria can grow in the food a lot faster than in food from the United States. In a way, this a good thing because you're getting non-GMO food items that are fresh and straight from the earth! Come, let's try some amazing dishes in Ghana!
The dish that I tried was the ground stew with goat and fufu (made by mixing and pounding separate equal portions of cassava and green plantain flour thoroughly with water)!
After trying the stew, I felt really good, such a warm feeling with every taste. It had just enough spice with a hint of peanut butter. Did you know that in Ghana they call peanuts groundnuts? The fufu is a little tricky since this dish is eaten with your hands. In Ghanaian tradition, fufu is best eaten by NOT chewing it, just swallowing. In the past, I've had debates on my opinion that chewing the fufu tastes better, but I lost that battle with local Ghanaians who are very stern with keeping tradition when eating fufu.
