Jay (Mukase Chic) is an amazing woman, so positive and talented, and so much fun to hang out with and eat with! She’s a food personality, a chef, a restauranteur, a blogger - she’s incredible. Check out her Instagram ( and YouTube (
Anyway, so Jay took me an ultimate street food tour in Accra, here’s all the amazing food we ate:
Red red (bean stew) and plantain - This was the first stop, a small stall that Jay has been eating at for years. They fry plantain, and then serve the plantain along with beans stewed in palm nut oil, and combine it with gari, which are cassava flakes. The result, is a filling and very satisfying combination of sweet and tangy plantains with salty oily beans. What’s key as Jay explained to me is the palm nut oil, which provides so much oil and fragrance. It was delicious, and a perfect way to begin this Ghanaian street food tour in Accra!
Total price - 4 GHC ($0.90)
Nima Market - Next we caught a taxi to Nima Market, known for its spices. We tried everything we could find, which was quite a lot of snacks here and there. The market was fantastic to walk around, full of action and energy.
Coconut toffee
Tigernuts - 1 GHC ($0.20)
Masa - 1 GHC ($0.20)
Zowey (adaakwa) - 1 GHC ($0.20)
Kulikuli - 1 GHC ($0.20)
Boiled egg - 1 GHC ($0.20)
Fried cheese - 1 GHC ($0.20)
Burkina - 3 GHC ($0.70)
Bofrot - 1 GHC ($0.20)
Peace Chop Bar (Chop Bar - Local Ghanaian restaurant) - Finally, to end this street food tour of Ghana in Accra, we stopped back at the chop bar that we had visited earlier in the morning. Seeing the cooking was sensational, it only made me hungrier for lunch. By the time we arrived back, they had already sold out of a few dishes, but there was still plenty enough to choose from. I tried the banku with goat meat, and it was fantastic.
Total price - 36 GHC ($7.90)
This was an incredible day of eating street food in Accra. Many thanks to Jay!

Thanks to Majeed and Ernest for taking me on this extreme Ghanaian street food tour of Accra. We had an incredible time eating and exploring Accra!
Jamestown, Accra, Ghana - We started off this Ghanaian street food tour of Accra in Jamestown, along the coast in Accra. The neighborhood is home mostly to a fishing community, but they also are known for having some of the best boxers in Ghana. We walked around Jamestown, and tried a few snacks and drinks along the way.
Palm wine - 2 GHC ($0.40)
Egg - 1 GHC ($0.20) per egg
Tigernut milk - 2 GHC ($0.40)
Kenkey (Kenkey - West African staple made from ground corn) and fried fish - After walking around Jamestown, we found a small restaurant to eat kenkey, a common Ghanaian staple made from corn, and here, eaten with fried fish. The restaurant was awesome, and the owners were very friendly. We ordered some food, and also had the chance to watch some of the cooking production. This was probably my favorite meal of this entire Ghanaian street food tour.
Total price - 20 GHC ($4.30) for all
We continued eating our way through Accra, here are a few more of the meals and snacks we tried:
Kelewele and gizzard - 5.5 GHC ($1.20)
Coconut - 2 GHC ($0.40) per coconut
Mama Vee Waakye - We couldn’t have an ultimate Ghana food tour without eating waakye, and so Majeed took me to one of his favorite spots. Waakye is a beloved Ghanaian food, a mix of many different things, and it’s incredible delicious. It wa also a huge plate!
Price - 13 GHC ($2.80)
Hwe Nea Nyame Aye Chop Bar (translated to “See what God has done” restaurant) - For one of our final meals of the day, we stopped at one of their favorite local neighborhood restaurants to eat fufu, along with massively giant jungle snails. They were delicious.
Price - 26 GHC ($5.60)
Chinchinga - Many places around the world offer grilled meat on skewer over charcoal, and in Ghana they are called chinchinga. Especially if you enjoy meat, you can’t miss them.
Price - 3 GHC ($0.60) per stick
It was an incredible day of street food in Accra, Ghana, West Africa. Thanks again to Majeed and Ernest for taking me around!

Visiting a CHOP BAR in GHANA!! West Africa Street Food + Attractions | Accra, Ghana
???????? JOLINAIKO ECO TOURS:
???? OLMA COLONIAL SUITES:
My adventures in West Africa continued in the city of Accra, Ghana! Come with me as I visit a chop bar in Ghana for the first time to enjoy some West Africa street food in Accra!
For this street food adventure, my guides Isaac and Ben from Jolinaiko Eco Tours and I started our afternoon in the Osu neighborhood. It’s one of the most popular neighborhoods in town and is full of chop bars!
???? WATCH: Unreal Surinamese Breakfast in Paramaribo –
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
Chop bars basically mean “place to eat.” They’re local restaurants that you can find all over Ghana! We’d be kicking off our adventure at Asanka Local Ghana International Chop Bar to try some fufu, red red, and more!
Asanka Local is one of the best restaurants in Osu. We ordered some fufu, goat meat, and red red (red beans with plantains).
We started with an alcoholic drink that’s basically plants mixed with gin. It had a bitter, medicinal flavor. I’m not a massive gin fan but I liked the earthy, herbal flavor. Then, I tried a second variety with a nicer aroma and a less bitter flavor!
In the massive dining hall, I had my chicken, gari (cassava flour), red red, and plantains. The red red didn’t contain a ton of spices but was really flavorful. I loved it with the sweet plantains. We enjoyed it with some Club Lager, which was crisp and light.
It’s best when you mix everything together. The gari added a nice crunch, and the red red was like a mashed bean stew with a red sauce. It was so creamy and tasty.
After our meal, we hopped back in the car past small restaurants, kiosks, vendors, and residential buildings. We drove five minutes to a small house. There, they soak, dry, germinate, and boil millet in water to make pito, which is millet beer.
It’s served in a big bowl. It had a very fermented, yeasty taste and was a little bitter. It reminded me of the jungle beer I tried in Palumeu, Suriname. They also have a darker and cloudier sweet pito, which is more enjoyable. The sweet one is non-alcoholic!
The custom here is to drink and then offer drinks to everyone else, so we bought drinks for everyone there. Then, we headed back out to continue exploring Osu. My guides wanted me to see the murals at an overpass. They depict singing women and an elephant with a ram on top, which symbolizes royalty.
Across the street are very colorful murals depicting vibrant skirts, space, and more women. They depict spirits that protect the communities in the night, which are popular in Benin and Nigeria.
We then drove 2 minutes to Oxford Street. I met a vendor who designs unique Converse All-Stars and bracelets; as well as others selling leather belts, necklaces, and more. A man named Elvis sells beautiful paintings, and another made me a bracelet that says “David In Ghana!”
Further on, we found vendors selling gorgeous textiles and masks from Ghana, Togo, and Benin. My favorite was a beautiful elephant mask, which cost 1,000 cedi, or about $200 USD. They also had more paintings that incorporate fabric.
Next, we saw a craft vendor selling unity bowls, which symbolize the fact that in Ghana, they share from the same bowl. You can also buy masks and utensils.
We also found a coconut stand where they sell them for $1 USD. The water inside was so refreshing! What an awesome experience exploring the Osu neighborhood!

Unforgettable Meal - ASHANTI FOOD in Kumasi, Ghana | Ultimate West African Food Tour!

►Watch the entire Ghana series:
Thanks to Can Do Tours ( for arranging this amazing Ghanaian food experience for me.
From Cape Coast, Ghana, we drove inland to Kumasi, a major city in the central Ashanti Region of Ghana. I was excited to sample authentic Ashanti food, and to spend just a short time exploring Kumasi. The drive from Cape Coast took about 4 hours.
Fufu for Lunch - When we arrived, we were all quite hungry and so we stopped at a local chop bar (Ghanaian local food restaurant) for lunch. I’m not really sure of the name of this spot, or I don’t even think it really had a name written on it. But it was a popular neighborhood spot, especially known for their fufu - a West African staple food of pounded plantain and cassava. I had it along with a mix of palm nut soup and a variety of meats.
Fufu mix - 18 GHC ($3.80) per bowl
Ashanti Food Cooking in Kumasi, Ghana -
The main activity food activity of the day was meeting a host family and going to their home to cook and experience authentic Ashanti Ghanaian food. Before going home, we stopped at a local market in Kumasi to buy some vegetables, and some essentials for the cooking, especially taro leaves.
Kontomire stew - I didn’t really know what we’d be cooking, but learned it was a dish called kontomire stew, a stew made from fermented fish for flavor and mostly taro leaves (also called cocoyam in Ghana). The leaves were boiled and ground with garlic and spices, then doused in boiling palm nut oil to finish it. The dish was served with boiled green plantains and cocoyams that you could dip into the kontomire stew. It was also amazing to eat with avocado, and the highlight of my day was eating with the entire family.
This is the final video from this Ghana food and travel series! If you haven’t seen all 7 videos, at the full playlist here:
Thank you for watching this entire Ghana food and travel series. It was an amazing trip, tried and learned about so many delicious foods, and it was an honor to meet and interact with so many generous and friendly people.

This was Day 1 of my trip to Ghana - searching out amazing Ghanian, West African food!
So I wasn’t totally sure all that I was doing - but this is part of the reason I love traveling and going to places I have never been before - it gives you the chance to learn, and try new things.
Heavy-Do Chop Bar - First restaurant we stopped at in Accra, is Heavy-Do Chop Bar, don’t you love the name? Now a Chop Bar in Ghana is a local style restaurant, oftentimes in a home-like compound or in the backyard. This place is quite well known in Ghana, and they are known for a reason, their food is incredible. I didn’t know it until eating there, but one of their specialties is omo tuo, which are Ghanaian style rice balls, eaten with a variety of different meats and soups. I ordered the rice balls with palm nut soup and red fish. It was insanely delicious!
Lolonyo Tilapia Base (Duncan's Pub) - For dinner on my first day in Accra, Ghana, we headed over to a legendary place to eat grilled tilapia. The actual restaurant is called Lolonyo Tilapia Base, but most people know it as Duncan's Pub, which is right next to the fish spot. In the evening, people come here to eat grilled Ghanaian style tilapia, and it’s excellent. Along with the grilled fish, the part I loved the most was the pepper sauce - a chili mix that was extraordinary.
This was just my first day eating Ghanaian food in Accra, Ghana. I learned a lot, and I have a few more amazing West African food tours of Ghana coming up!

West African Food - EXOTIC DELICACY in GHANA!
►SUBSCRIBE for 2 new videos per week:
►T-shirts and caps available now:
Bushmeat is a term that is used to often describe wild game meat in Africa. And while there some types of bushmeat that are not good or unsafe to eat - grasscutter - also known as a greater cane rat, is safe and one of the most popular types of bushmeat to eat in West Africa. It’s a delicacy!
So while we were driving on our way to Elmina, Ghana, along the side of the highway, we stopped at some hunters, and bought a grasscutter.
Later in the day, we met up with our host family, and we drove over to the Elmina fishing market. The market was amazing, bright and colorful, and energetic, with some unique fish and seafood available from the Atlantic. We bought some fish to go along with our grasscutter, and then we continued back to the house to start cooking.
First for lunch, Mama made us a dish called Eto, a mash up of yam and palm nut oil, topped with eggs. It was a little on the dry side for me, but it was an honor to have a chance to try that special Ghanaian dish.
For dinner we prepared the fish and grasscutter. The fish was made into Ghanaian groundnut or peanut soup, which is one of the best dishes I at in Ghana. The grasscutter was made into a bushmeat grasscutter light soup which included chilies, garlic, onions, ginger, and tomato.
Finally, for the main start of the meal Mama made omo tuo, Ghana style rice balls.
How does grasscutter taste? The greater cane rats run around the fields and eat grass, so unsurprisingly some parts kind of taste like grass. But they are a white meat, and have a similar look to chicken, but the meat is even sweeter. It was also surprisingly fall apart tender. I thought it was amazing!
Across West African food, grasscutter is a very popular meat, and a delicacy eaten on special occasions.

Extreme GHANA CHOP BAR Food!! Giant African Snail & Goat Meat | Kumasi, Ghana
???????? JOLINAIKO ECO TOURS:
After exploring the largest market in all of West Africa earlier in the day, I continued my exploration of the city of Kumasi, Ghana! Come with me as I try some extreme Ghana chop bar food, including a giant African snail and some goat, in Kumasi, Ghana!
My day continued on a sweltering, 97-degree afternoon at Ceci Chop Bar. Chop Bars are local eateries. In the local language, “chop” means “to eat.”
???? WATCH: Ghana’s Most Famous Fish Market –
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
Peter, my guide from Jolinaiko Eco Tours, told me we could have a lot of local foods like fufu, kenkey, dried cassava, banku, chicken, bushmeat, tilapia, and lots of other soups.
Inside the large, open space are lots of plastic plates and colorful chairs. At the back is a bar where you can try some bitters. The one I tried was good but very herbal and medicinal.
I headed back into the kitchen, where I saw them serving okra stew, fish stew, salmon, tilapia, giant African snails, grasscutter, and more. They have a huge mix of different foods. I couldn’t wait to try the snails. They’re so exotic!
I got some fufu (pounded cassava dough and plantains), and you can add whatever you want with it. I got some goat meat and snails! I washed my hands with the pitcher of water and soap at the table because I’d be eating with my hands.
The goat meat was very tender and paired nicely with the pasty fufu. The snail, meanwhile, was monstrous! I’d never seen one that big! I loved it. It was so tender and meaty. I liked the gaminess of it.
It all came swimming in a pool of peanut vegetable soup, which had a nice, nutty and earthy flavor. There’s also a nice bit of spice to it. It was packed with different flavors and textures!
I couldn’t get over how much fufu they gave me! It’s incredibly filling, similar to rice or pasta.
After you finish eating all the meat, you drink the rest of the soup right out of the bowl. Then, we headed over to the outdoor kitchen nearby to watch the women prepare some banku and beef-peanut butter soup. I also saw the cassava roots, which they use to make banku.
Then, we continued out into Kumasi. It’s the cultural capital of the country and the heart of the Ashanti region. As we rode, I learned that here, a lot of the women are the primary breadwinners of their households.
Back in the city, we made it back to the central market to get some street food! We found some unique sheep kebabs, which they wrap in paper and smoke. They cost $2 USD each. They were so juicy and tender, a little gamy, and covered in pepper and some spices.
Next, we continued on through the city. The main attraction here is the market; the main sites are the craft villages outside of town. We stopped at Wasaaga Pub, a bar where you can try bitters and lots of different beers.
I got a Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, which is a chocolatey and malty beer brewed in Ghana. There, I ate my sheep kebabs outside. Inside, you can watch TV.
The sheep was salty and peppery, with a nice amount of oil on it. I loved the fatty, gelatinous layer on it. The meat was so tasty!

West Africa's BIGGEST MARKET!! Ghana Street Food at Kejetia Market | Kumasi, Ghana
???????? JOLINAIKO ECO TOURS:
After a long road trip to Kumasi, I made a beeline to the biggest market it all of West Africa! Come with me as I visit Kejetia Market, meet the vendors, and try some delicious Ghana street food in beautiful Kumasi, Ghana!
Kumasi is the second-largest city in Ghana and is the heartbeat of the Ashanti region, which is home to the famous Ashanti people. The city is well-known for its craftsmen and markets, and Kejetia Market is its most famous! It’s also known as Kumasi Central Market and contains over 10,000 shops and stalls!
???? WATCH: Ghana’s Most Famous Fish Market –
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
I’d be starting my day by trying a Ghanaian delicacy I hadn’t had yet called etor. It consists of boiled plantains with eggs, peanuts, onions, black pepper, chilies, avocado, and palm oil. I’d be exploring the market with my guide, Peter!
We walked through the mini-market down some narrow stalls with chickens running around. The vendors referred to me as “blondie,” which is their name for white people! We came across a vendor butchering chickens.
Etor is a special dish that’s often made for celebrations like birthdays and weddings. Watching the ladies boil the plantains and prepare the onions, fish, peanuts, chilies, and avocado was sensory overload. The smell from the chilies hit me right away!.
There were still 90 minutes to go until the etor would be ready, so Peter and I headed down a back road back to the market 5 minutes away. We headed to the top of a building to get an amazing view over the market. It’s even bigger than the market in Accra!
We got some fresh coconuts, drank the water, and ate the meat inside. It was so refreshing and cost me only 3 cedi for one. We got two for roughly $1.20 USD!
These markets are full of activity. There are tons of vendors and shoppers, as well as singers and musicians! Everyone there was really friendly!
We crossed over to the modern side of the market, where there were vendors butchering fresh meat. I saw cow heads, cow tails, stomach, kidneys, intestines, and more! On the ceiling are Ashanti symbols.
On the second level was a labyrinth of more vendors. The market was never-ending! We eventually reached some outdoor stairs leading back down to the street. We made it back to the women making the etor, who were mashing the boiled plantains.
The plantains were a little crumbly but nice! They added the peanuts, eggs, onions, chilies, shito, and avocado. We skipped the fish because it was too bony. The etor only cost 5 cedi each!
We ate at a nearby bench. The peanut sauce was incredible and I loved all the textures. The flavors were outstanding! The addition of the smooth avocado and crunchy peanuts was a nice touch as well. It was super filling and delicious!
After eating, we continued deeper into the market and saw fermented corn stew, sandal makers, and more. On the top floor of the covered, modern part are textiles. Here, you can buy the famous kente cloth, which is very important to the Ashanti culture. They also have “designers” here, who tailor and sew the fabric!
Down in the main market, it was packed. There were lots of secondhand stalls selling bags, shoes, jewelry, clothes, and more. I met a woman making jollof rice with fresh vegetables and others selling jerseys!
There are train tracks running through the market, which is really unique! Then, I saw the items used for charms and protection, including dried chameleons and herbs!

►Check out my Nairobi travel guide:
Thank you for watching this ultimate Kenyan street food tour in Nairobi! I met up with my friend James who took me around to a few of his favorite spots to eat.
Kawangware, Nairobi, Kenya
Here's most of the food we tried on this amazing tour of Nairobi:
Ann Restaurant - Dagoretti Corner - This small street food stall on Dagoretti Corner in Nairobi serves all sorts of Kenyan / East African foods. Their chapatis are especially good, and their Lake Victoria sardines fried with tomatoes.
Chapati
Dagaa - Lake Victoria sardine
Matumbo - stomach stew
Githeri - beans and maize
The guy sitting across the table - “you should not eat beans and sardines together, or you’ll have gas.”
Total bill - 1,050 KES ($10.39) - we paid for 4 or 5 guys eating there
Stomach Clinix - This was the best food stop of the day, a neighborhood meat shop that James took me to that specializes in cow head soup. The grilled tongue was also spectacular, but the soup was the best.
Total price - 200 KES ($1.98)
Dagoretti Market - After the meat, we took a walk over to Dagoretti Market. After browsing around for a while, we stopped for another plate of mixed Kenyan food, mostly dengu, which are mung beans. It was simple, but quite good.
Dengu - mung beans
Total price - 300 KES ($2.97)
Unity Cafe Hotel - We met up with some of James' friend in Kawangware, and went to eat across the street from their shoe shop. The mandazi mix was the highlight of this Kenyan meal.
Total price - 600 KES ($5.94) for all
Cow foot fry - Next we headed over to Oscar who makes cow food soup, fry and boil. He was a very friendly man, and showed me his entire process of making cow foot soup. It was delicious!
Total price - 450 KES ($4.45)
Kenyan street food - To end this Kenyan street food tour of Nairobi we had to eat one of the ultimate Kenyan fast food meat treats. You'll see these types of grills all over the streets in the late afternoon throughout Nairobi. You just choose what you want, it's cut on the chopping board, and you stand and eat.
Esophagus
Intestines
Mutura - minced meat sausage
Mutura - blood sausage
Udder
Total price - 200 KES ($1.97)
Thank you for watching this ultimate Nairobi street food tour!

Northern Ghana STREET FOOD!! Tannery & Market Tour of Tamale, Ghana
???????? JOLINAIKO ECO TOURS:
With just one day to explore the city of Tamale, I hit the ground running to see as much as I could in Ghana’s third-largest city! Join me on a mind-blowing West African adventure as I try some northern Ghana street food and go on a local tannery and market tour of Tamale, Ghana!
My afternoon began at a local tannery, where I could see leather drying on a clothesline. It’s made from sheep and goat skin and goes through a fascinating process. They soak it in a solution that makes it easy to remove the hair.
???? WATCH: The Most Famous Fish Market in Ghana –
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
Then, they use different plants as dyes to make red, brown, and black leather. Dying takes one day. Then, another man stretches it and they let it continue drying. They can make 100 pieces of leather per day. The whole process takes about a week!
I wanted to get some leather goods! This was only the second tannery I’ve ever visited. Isaac and I headed over to the shop, where they make belts, sandals, wallets, and more. The soles of the sandals are made of car tires. The sandals cost 30 cedis, or about $6 USD. I also bought a snakeskin wallet for 20 cedis and two pillows!
Next, we headed to the central market of Tamale. We passed through the city, past mosques, food vendors, seamstresses, and more.
The market had farming equipment, yams, and more. We saw some porcupine quills, giant African snails, giant shells, hornbill heads, crocodile heads, and more unique items there. They’re used as medicine to fight illness.
The market is very spread-out and quite different from the markets in Accra and Kumasi in terms of layout. I found a vendor selling traditional hats. They came in a variety of beautiful colors. I tried a few on and bought one for 20 cedis.
Then, we found another vendor selling more unique medicines and ritual items including warthog tusks, animal claws, and crocodile heads. They died of natural causes and aren’t hunted.
Next, I came across the tailors, or designers, who sew textiles into hats, smocks, and other clothing items. Further on, I saw beans, rice, fruit, as well as chickens, ducks, turkeys, and guinea fowl.
The butcher shop contained ten butchers. I could see beef, lamb, and goat. The smell was intense, but I love seeing it all, including the organs!
There were less crowds here, which I liked. I visited a shea butter factory and rubbed some on my arm. Then, I met a woman selling some. She has been making it since she was a child!
Isaac bought a huge ball of shea butter for 30 cedis/$6 USD for his aunt in Accra. Then, we came across seven women pounding fufu at once, as well as organ soup. Next, I found a vendor selling fruit and giant bars of soap!
By 1 p.m., the market was getting packed. Our next stop was the art shops at the cultural center. A woman named Sylvia sold baskets, wood carvings, animal figurines, leather goods, maps, and jewelry.
At Adongo Art Works, I bought four brass beer openers for 100 cedis. Then, we went to get some fufu at a small chop bar next to a gas station near the airport.
My fufu came with chicken thighs, a chicken drumstick, and peanut soup. I washed my hands beforehand since I would be eating with my hands.
The peanut soup was sweet and oily and so incredibly tasty! Isaac told me that the peanut soup also goes well with rice balls!
Fufu is pounded cassava mixed with plantains or cocoyam. It goes with every type of soup. It was so tasty and paired so well with the chicken!

Exotic Ghana STREET FOOD TOUR at Night!! Exploring Osu Night Market | Accra, Ghana
???????? JOLINAIKO ECO TOURS:
???????? NII LAAYE:
???? OLMA COLONIAL SUITES:
With my day in Accra, Ghana winding to a close, my guides and I headed out on one of my most exotic street food adventures yet! Join us as we go on an exotic Ghana street food tour of Accra, Ghana at night!
My evening would consist of a nighttime exploration of the Osu Night Market with Isaac from Jolinaiko Eco Tours and my other guide, Nii Laaye! It’s a 24-hour market, but the street food vendors are only there at night. You can find everything from banku to tilapia and much more!
???? WATCH: Chop Bar Food in Accra, Ghana –
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
The market is over 420 years old and is one of the most famous markets in Accra. It’s a popular spot to get food even after midnight!
As we approached our first vendor, I came across a spicy and exotic pork dish. It was both fatty and crunchy and contained lots of flavor. It was like a mix of fat and pork rinds and contained some bones. It wasn’t that spicy to me.
In another area with about 15 vendors, we found some smoked fish, grilled fish, and fried fish. They all looked really good! There were mountains of small, fried fish!
There were also vendors cutting and frying some squid. While we waited for the squid to get ready, we explored some more!
As we continued on, we passed a DJ playing some music on the street. Everywhere, there were vendors flying different foods. We saw one frying plantains, the main ingredient in Killer Willy. The plantains are cubed, fried, and coated in pepper and other spices.
It was super hot, right off the fryer. It was soft, like a maduro, and was really enjoyable! Then, we doubled back for the squid. It was about 7:30 in the evening and the market was getting more and more crowded.
The squid strips were really tasty and tender. It wasn’t chewy like most squid and came with a spicy dipping sauce called shito. The squid didn’t have much spices on it but the thick, pasty shito sauce added a lot of flavor and heat. The spice snuck up on me!
From there, we bought a local favorite, corn porridge. It costs one cedi, or $0.17 USD for a baggie of it. It’s more expensive if you buy it in a cup. I wanted to let it cool off and take it back to my hotel for breakfast.
At the end of the market, we turned toward Oxford Street. There are lots of bars in this area. We passed another vendor selling killer willy and got some Guinness Foreign Stout and Club Lager at an open-air park. You can watch some TV there but it’s really dark.
The stout is brewed in Kumasi and is 7.5% alcohol. It was delicious and felt more malty than other stouts I’ve had. Then, I tried the corn porridge, which was a little bitter with a sight sweetness to it. It’s also very filling. I really enjoy it and it coats your stomach, so it’s perfect if you’re eating spicy food.
We finished up with some grilled organs, including stomach and intestines. They were grilled with onions and coated with spices. The stomach was chewy and dense and the spices made it hot! He also sold some guinea fowl and beef!
What an awesome exotic Ghana street food tour of Osu Night Market in Accra, Ghana!
