Greetings from Ghana!

Welcome to Cafe a la Ghana. My name's Maria and I'll be your server this evening. Let me give you a chance to look at the menu-- I know some of the dishes are things you've never seen before so I'll explain them a little bit! Fufu The "national dish" of Ghana! Most Ghanaians adore fufu and are SO EXCITED whenever it's an option to eat. You have two options-- southern fufu made from cassava and plantains and northern fufu, made from plantains and yams. Which should you order? That depends on whether you like slimy or doughy. For the former, I recommend the southern and the latter, the northern. If you want to order it, I'd recommend making your mind up now-- it takes quite a while to boil the yams and plantains and mash them into a smooth dough. AND then there's the soup! I recommend a nice light soup-- it's got tomatoes, garlic, ginger, garden eggs, and all sorts of delicious veggies! ALSO, as a forewarning, spoons aren't allowed when

Ansomaa, n yidƐmƐ! Wa daa yaanƐ-ooo!!! Good morning. friends and family! Welcome to my local market. Looking for a pound of tomatoes, a new pair of jeans, or even a quick bite of fufu? Then my market is the place to go! Join me as I try not to look like a stalker while filming a quick walk through the entrance to market.* *Apologies for the shakiness and my verbal exchange with one market-goer. I am always poked fun of for walking so fast (Americans, we need to slow down!) so that conversation is truly a part of my everyday experience going places here.
