Waakye with shito and gari, the best breakfast in Accra
Bofrot and tea for breakfast, good memories from school
Fufu and light soup on Sunday, nothing compares
Great list! Kontomire stew with ampesi is my comfort food
Jollof at number one, and Ghana jollof beats Nigeria jollof, sorry not sorry
Here we go again with the jollof wars haha
Banku and tilapia with pepper sauce should have its own entry!
Palm nut soup is underrated, so rich
Red red with kelewele is the perfect combo
Kenkey with fried fish and pepper, Ga people represent!
