    I'm Caribbean American and watch out of curiosity. It's interesting what my family remembers of our ancestors. We have fungi and fish for example. Separated for centuries, but maintaining culture thorough food

    Wow, kenkey's origin is Ga Dangme. A dish that goes with the famous black shito, which has been adopted across the country. I will pardon you as a Ga dangme woman as you sound non Ghanaian so we are teaching you. Famous KOMI KE KENAM. The typical Akan diet consists of fufu and kontomire soup, palm soup, yam, plaintain and kontomire and garden eggs stew.

      BANKU IS NOT FROM THE GA COMMUNITY. VOLTARIANS COOK BANKU AND FANTES ALSO COOK IT. IF WE'LL BE SINCERE GAS CAME TO MEET THE FANTES HERE IN GHANA WHEN THEY CAME FROM NIGERIA SO BANKU IS ACTUALLY FROM THE FANTES.
      IN THE SAME WAY FUFU IS PREPARED BY VOLTARIANS BUT IT ACTUALLY ORIGINATED FROM THE ASHANTES.

    The video is really good but the history and people behind the food is a total mess. Banku, okro soup and chilli 🌶 is from EWE People south of Ghana. Kenkey is from GA and FUFU is from Akan’s. Please get the facts right it’s extremely important.

      For ewe is Akwpene not banku . Ga’s eat corn fermented just as you can see in Kenkey and banku . And also white porridge. The ewe’s don’t ferment their corn before mailing them.
