The Food

Diane made some fantastic food from Ghana! 

The menu included jerk goat that was grilled be Neal, fried plantains (Kelewele), corn on the cob rolled in coconut, peanuts, corn chips, yams with egg (Otto), ground cornmeal (Kenkey) and Groundnut Stew! Some of the food was definitely better than others :)


Groundnut Stew was my absolute FAVORITE
