Overview

We will spend the morning in the local market picking out all of the ingredients needed to prepare our authentic flavorful meal. You will see the local market women carrying things on their head as they try to sell their products. Once we return to the bar we will start to prepare the meal. You will learn how to "pound" the Banku, Fufu, Jiji or rice balls over the open fire. Then we will prepare the stew or soup of your choice (depending on diet). During this, you can taste several local alcohol spirits to get a local experience, while you will see the true movement of the community and how people interact with one another while speaking in our local language of Ga. If you want to truly feel what it is like to be a Ghanaian you will love this experience.
