Eating in Ghana can be a learning experience for an American. A lot of the traditional foods are sticky, starchy, and gooey. And the servings are huge! The picture is of me trying to eat banku (made with corn) and kind of succeeding. Just yesterday, though, I had it again and I ate the whole lump. I have to admit I feel pretty good about it. The other pictures are of people making fufu. It's made of cassava and plantain beaten together until smooth. You don't chew... just swallow. A little chewing never hurt anyone, the way I see it though.

Why are you in Ghana?
mmm corn and plantain goo. sounds great. no, really. it does. goos can be so tasty.... and plantains in any form are tasty.
I'm a seminary student, and one of my field education placements is with a pastor in Ghana this summer.
