As we gear up for this novel trip by the Church, most of us wonder what kind of individuals we will be encountering. I do not want to spoil the surprise so I will be brief in my description of the character of the Ghanaian people. Granted, outliers always exist.
Ghanaians are a calm and collected group, hospitable and sweet in ways that cannot be described by words. Despite the prevalence of extreme poverty, most people wear smiles all day long. They are peaceful and loving.
Most of us love to bargain. In fact, it is the way of life at most market places. We never settle for the first price quote on goods and services. It is exciting to behold such a sheer display of wit and in some way humor, for anyone who has never seen such a spectacle.
FOOD
FUFU. Most Ghanainas love to eat FUFU. A mixture of plantains and cassava pounded together to form a thickened substance. FUFU is consumed with soup. The link below shows how it is made. Yams, rice, Kenkey are other examples of food that is consumed. Apart from FUFU, most meals are eaten with a sauce or stew of some kind.
