Ghanaian Cuisine…Yummm

I have enjoyed the majority of the food in Ghana. The one dish I did not like was FuFu. After my first bite I thought “why?” It does not taste like much of anything and it was very starchy; I just didn’t understand the point of it. On the other hand, my favorite dish so far would have to be the stew with rice and fried plantains. My mouth waters just thinking about it 🙂
