Top six traditional foods in Ghana you need to try


There’s a lot to learn from a group of people by the way they put together their meals. The ingredients, cooking methods and energy they apply into feeding themselves extend beyond nourishment, with their culinary skills reflecting different beliefs, traditions and habits. As such, experiencing and experimenting with local traditional foods…

Hi Kofi. I have never tried any of these. Sorry. However, I am making my list. And I heard even from a Ghanaian, Nigerian Jollah is the best. But I will try them both. Big smiles 🙂.

I've been to Ghana several times. Its definitely one of the best West African countries to visit or repatriate to. Having said that, I've tried a few on your list.

1. Jollof Rice: absolutely Amazing!! Its definitely my favorite food. I really love the flavor and spicy taste. I'm from New York and I even eat it up here whenever I find an African restaurant that makes it. You're right, Jolof rice is eaten in many west African countries including Gambia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast and Nigeria and Cameroon just to name a few. While I enjoy Ghana''s Jolof rice, I must say that the Yorubas also make fantastic Jolof rice. They have a version where they use coconut milk with it. You gotta try that one too.

2. Waakye: I've tried this and it was also good.it was also something that I ate a lot.

3. Banku: I tried Banku which I was told is an Ewe food. But I didn't like it at all. It's fermented and it has a very sour taste. For me I guess its an acquired taste. But unfortunately to me, it didn't taste good. I most definitely prefer fufu and the many various pounded yams.

4. Fried Tilapia: It seems to be a common fried fish that everybody likes and that I saw on most menus everywhere in Accra. I would always have fried tilapia with Jolof and that spicy green pepper sauce or even with shitor. (Not sure if I spelled it correctly.)

5.Kele wele: I'm not sure if I spelled it correctly but this is also another favorite of mine. It may be an Akan food but I love this fried yellow plantain with Ginger. It may be a kind of snack food. I'm not sure but I oftentimes added it to my meals. Lol. It tastes amazing.

@marjoryqueenie5455

Omg I loved everything I ate. Being of West Indian descent I particularly love the red red and jollof rice, the banku and fish soup and the kankay with soup and my sweet plantains and sugar cane.. I cant wait to go back home to Ghana..

@crystalthompson9700

Red Red and banku and fish😋😋😋

@crystalthompson9700

Please try Ghana Jollof before any other countries so you can have the best!

@Blakberi73

Tuo Zaafi is one dish I have never tried. But the prior five are so good. I'm listening to you talk about it. I miss the food. I am plotting on a time frame to visit Ghana. The food is delicious.
