@@RockstarEater it should be pronounced 'gha-nai-an'. not 'Ghana -ai-an'
dunno what you mean, but i love it😂
Ghanaians do not eat with their hands; they eat with their fingers.
All of the dishes look really delicious. I wish there was a similar restaurant or even a chop bar in Dayton, Ohio.

Nice to see Asian making such a video 🙏 God bless
Thanks. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!
Enjoyed seeing you like the food. I’ll say that fufu and tuo zafi are made from different root plants, the former being cassava and/or unripe plantain and the latter more from corn and cassava. And they each individually have different soups to eat with them like you were served. I hope that helps a bit!
Thanks. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!
That Waba Grill looks good too :)
Awesome. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos this year!
OOOOO the tuo zafi soup looks very hearty and filling!!! I havent had goat meat in a LOOONG time!!! Idk how I feel about using my hands when eating just because Im not very used to it!!
If you can do it with Filipino food, you can do it with anything 😃
Pizza, hot dogs, ribs are all eaten with the hands so it's not that different...
👍👍👍rice beans
Yes 😊
Wow everything looks fantastic, the rice and beans look so tasty. I’ve never had food like that before
Thank you 😋
Did u take the whole food home...
We still wat in that earthenware bowl (👉🏿Asanka) in the cities too whenever we go the the local restaurants...
Yes, I took the rest home. Thanks. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos this year!

All this stupid restaurants selling Ghanaian dishes to non Ghanaians without telling them how to eat it get me really frustrated. We don’t chew Fufu and the Tuo Zafi, we dips in the soup and swallow. And with the waakye you have to mix everything on the plate to enjoy. The proper way of eating Ghanaian dish, gives it a different taste. Ghanaian dishes is not just the meal but the art of eating if you want to feel the way a Ghanaian feel when eating. I watched you eating kenkey the last time and I felt terrible, chewing kenkey on its own is horrible taste even as a Ghanaian but you were respectful about it.
I was thinking the same thing watching him chew both fufu and TZ. Poor thing, but most our family friends that are non Africans have hard time with the concept of swallowing whole meal without chewing. And could never bring themselves to swallow. so we let them eat it however they feel comfortable. Was it just me or the TZ seems harder than usual?
It's so disgusting using his left hand eating our african food, Mr. Man that is disrespecting to us. I will not subscribe to your channel
@@nanaesienyiewaah6942 okay but we must cut him a slack. He didn't know, blame those who served it to him and didn't teach the proper way to eat
@@nanaesienyiewaah6942 😂😂
@@nanaesienyiewaah6942 But he is a leftie what do you want him to do? Its not disrespect. Chill wai
Fun fact: Rice and beans dish in El Salvador is called "Casamiento" which means Marriage, basically the groom uses black colour (bean) and the bridge white (rice)
Thanks for the info.
Those are big meals. One main course is enough with a starter.

you're making me hungry😭😭
Haha. Awesome. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food video!
Oooh man the fufu 😢😢😢🤣
Just wanted to point out that most cultures including this one uses right hand to eat and left had to wipe backside! U can use the left for drinks though
Thanks.
Have you noticed that Steve is left handed🤗
I was definitely looking for this comment.🤣🤣🤣
@@cherylmoore747 😂😂😂
@rockstar Easter you are supposed to mix the waakye and everything 😂😂😂

1. History: Fufuo/fufu means mash or mix in Twi language of the Akan ethnicity in Ghana. Fufuo/fufu is a specific staple food for the Akan ethnic groups in southern part of Ghana 🇬🇭 and Ivory Coast, West Africa.
Fufuo (also means white and derived from the white color of the cassava/fufu is soft doughy and made out of a mixture of boiled cassava mix with plantains or coco yams pounded together in a mortar (waduro) with a pestle (woma) unique to the Akans and only eaten with liquid soups such as, Light soup(nkrakra soup usually from garden eggs, aubergines, carrots, tomatoes, onions, peppers), palm nut soup, Groundnut/peanut soup, Abun abun (green vegetable soup usually from Nkontomire leaves), werewere soup, akatoa (agushi) soup with meats, fishes, snails, crabs, mushrooms and okro (nkruma) on the side. Fufuo/fufu is usually served in Asanka or Ayowaa (an earthware bowl; black or red in color). Yum yum 😋😋😋🇬🇭🇬🇭

2. czcams.com/video/-YRv5agXQjU/video.html
Right way to eat Fufu:
Cut a ball of the Fufu , make a hole in it and scoop the soup and swallow, never chew the Fufu. Lol
Fufuo/fufu is celebrated every with Fufuo/fufu party by the Akan news mediums in Ghana 🇬🇭 every year.
The adulterated fufu powder sold in the Ghanaian markets in the western countries is what has caused this confusion and now everyone wants to call every doughy food fufu, even the Nigerian pounded yam and akpu (which is bankye mmore/agbelema/fermented cassava), Amala (Kokonte), Eba (Gari Fufuo), semolina, cabbage dough with Egusi stew [Palava sauce (Nkontomire mixed with Akatoa (Agushi) stew or only Akatoa (Agushi) stew] and Okra stews are now being called Fufu by Nigerians in recent times and it is sabotaging the authentic Ghana Fufuo/fufu and making the name popular and trending internationally in USA because of their large numbers which is wrong.
Whenever you visit Ghana 🇬🇭 ask for Fufuo/fufu chop bars (Fufuo/fufu restaurants) and you will be surprised that it's all over in Ghana.

This is the Fufuo/fufu powder that has been confusing people and a box of authentic Ghana Fufu powder is actually captioned in the video. ⬇️

In the depth of a typical Akan region you will hear Fufuo mostly but when Ghanaian businesses men processed the authentic Fufuo/fufu into powdered cassava/plantains /coco yam Fufu powder years ago and sold in markets in America, Canada, Europe, UK and and most western countries because they couldn't pound the Fufu in the mortar with the pestle in those white countries as it's very noisy when pounding they shortened it to be Fufu because fufu in Twi means marsh or mix and eg. is saying in Twi "fufu 3to or fufu Gari Foto", and because of the Fufu powder it became popular among Africans and parts of the Caribbean. So most West and Central Africans started calling almost every powdered doughy food Fufu.
If you are younger or haven't lived in abroad for a long time you wouldn't even think about the origin of Fufu because the new generations don't necessarily care to know their history much. Hope you researched more on how and why when you see every Fufu powder both in Ghana and abroad, you will see it's a Ghanaian product.
If you are an Akan, but you are younger or haven't lived in abroad for a long time you wouldn't even think about why it's called both Fufuo/fufu in Ghana because it's been part of you since the day you are born or you maybe younger and just don't know the history.
I am an Akan and it makes me proud when other people eat my staple food Fufuo/fufu with the liquid soups in the right way but to sabotage and replace it with other doughy foods simply because it looks similar is unacceptable.
We must learn to give credit to the origination of our foods, our inventions and also give credit to other people's foods and inventions accordingly to give respect to our heritage. That's why there's plagiarism.

2. watch this video ⬇️ czcams.com/video/CLeI7TAGe4Q/video.html of a Nigerian man lying through his teeth and claiming that Pona yams comes from Nigeria on the Channels Television, a Nigerian news media which is wrong because he gave false information to the Nigerian public because Pona yams are grown only in Ghana 🇬🇭. *Pona yams are usually medium in size, sweet taste, white with smooth outer skin texture ⬇️ Pona yams- czcams.com/video/JUbhz-TT22g/video.html

It’s no that deep you don’t have to be so rude
Yes, the whole video from start to finish was littered with all kinds of patronising comments. Too much stereotyping and caricaturing.
I also felt this review was whack … Not good at all
Stay away from Ghanaian food is your words are negative
Get instruction on how to eat the food.
You got a lot of meat bro. Normally our restaurants are stingy with meat.
Lucky you.
Oh the Sauce is. called TZ the other is fufu
Ghanaians eats a lot of tomatoes

In Asia, too, you eat with your hands.
You are wasting food. If you don't know how to eat African food, stop doing it. Eat Chinese food.
