Food also defines a group of people, and it is therefore classified as part of the culture of the people. I am a northerner, and I love eating fufu and touzaafi, which define me wherever and whenever I travel out of territories.
Local and foreign dishes all taste good and are palatable in the mouths of humans. This is a tough topic to deliberate on, and I must say these two dishes got me. This is a difficult topic, and there is a saying in the local dialect that "somoga bi zori kachari oba tiga."
I have had different occasions. I have taken foreign dishes, and I have never fully embraced them. What my blood is made of is what is flowing in my vessels. There are common foods we produce but taste differently. I cannot imagine my life without those local foods. It is unbelievable to miss a day without eating t.z. in my life.
You can imagine how I could survive without my local dishes. Nothing satisfies me more than what I have eaten since childhood. I am hooked on it, and I prefer taking t.z., dawadawa rice as local jollof, and fufu, which provide me with a loud quench of my hunger.
I love eating fufu, which is my favorite among the locals. This is prepared with tubers of yam and cassava. Fufu is a food that is prepared to be cold and neutralized with hot soup. The digestion of this food is smooth, which makes it easy to defecate. This is a food known among the Asantes, which they prepared with cassava, plantains, and yam. But it is locally prepared in the northern part of Ghana with only yam. It is a delicious dish, and everyone will like what tastes good to him, and I invite you to give it a try, and you will fall for it.
Thank you.
