Food

Starting with the food from the airplane.. For airplane food actually very good.

I already talked about these two (kurikuri and orange), but I just wanted to summarize all the food pictures I got.

This is ice kenkey - it was nice, but to be honest I don't remember it that well anymore to be able to describe it properly. I only had it once.

Very nice! Cooked plantaine (plantaine is like a hard banana which doesn't taste sweet when cooked and you can only eat it when cooked or fried, not raw) with fish and Kentumere - which is like spinach or maybe it is spinach...

(You eat it with your hand. Make the plantaine half and use it like a spoon for the stew.)

This is actually no food. It was my hostmother's medicine.

Fried plantaine with beans stew.

Yam, plantaine and vegetable stew. (With hands)

Snakes soup in Begoro.

German salad.

Some snack we got in the first week in Accra at the school opening.

Sugar cane

The Ghanaian form of ice cream.

Doughnut

First food I got at school. Very nice! (I get food every day at school.)

Also very nice and the most common: Rice and some noodles with tomato stew

Thursdays... Kenkey. No, I don't love it. The first thursday I was really shocked how you can eat that. A lot of people like it, but to me the Kenkey (it's the on the right side) tastes like a sour ball of dough and the sauce on the left is spicy and watery at the same time. It's not my favourite for sure. But we get it every thursday and I got used to it. I can now eat it without any problem and the fish I even enjoy.

(Usually you eat it with your hand, but I felt more comfortable eating it with the spoon.)

I forgot both their names. The first one is a tasty crunchy snack and the second one I even forgot how it tasted. I think it was boring...

Rice with stew out of a plastic bag - absolutely normal here, you can get it everywhere on the street and it's pretty nice. And it often costs only one cedi which is like 25cent.

Meat on the street. No, I don't eat it - just the sausages are very nice.

Biscuits. My new sweets addiction in Ghana. They really have nice and many different kinds of biscuits. And if you ask for 'cookies' nobody knows what you mean. It's 'biscuits'.

Garden egg. I've never seen that before in Germany, but maybe it's nothing special... A vegetable to cook.

Bofrot. My daily breakfast - I love it. It's some kind of fried sweet dough. 50 pesawa = 12 cent. I get full from it.

Rice ball with groundnut soup. Delicious. You eat it with your hand. Take some of the rice ball and catch the soup with it. I noticed - even though you eat rice in various forms (plain rice, jollof rice, rice balls) and very often and even though I wasn't too much of a fan of rice back in Germany... I can't get enough of rice! Whenever I'm hungry I'm like: Oh I would some rice with tomato stew now.

I forgot to take a picture of Fufu - typical Ghanaian food. It looks a little similar like the last picture, but it's not rice. It's dough made out of casava. You have to pound the casava and I'm taking now a picture from google to show how it looks like. I tried it myself as well, but I only have a video, so I can't upload it now.

That's how people do it. 

And that's how it looks like when it's done.

Fufu you eat with your hands.

I think I only used spoon or hands to eat in the whole three months.

Ok, enough of food. All in all I can say, I really liked the food here and the only two things I was really missing were fresh milk and smoked salmon.
