Food & Sustenance

A lot of my research had gone into Ghanaian food before I left.. I was petrified at the thought of extremely spicy food with limited options... I couldn't have been more pleased.

The food truly looks more spicy that it is - vivid red and brown colors, though nowhere close to the chili or even spice the same thing would have in India... not so even from the westerner's perspectives. The first week, we were all excited to try the fu-fu with stew, the banku, jolof rice, red-red .. the excitement however was short lived .. by the end of week two - an automatic no-Ghanaian food rule prevailed :D Of course, the red fish and kelewele at Baku will remain a lifetime favorite for me... slurrp :p

Eventually, the lebanese-pizza place, the two Chinese, one Indian and the one Korean restaurant were visited quite often, with the latter two rising as team favorites and winning upto four visits.

It was quite strange and interesting to see that all the people, from eight different countries were all used to different cuisines and different food back home.. but when we liked food at a place.. we all liked it .. like a wise someone said - I guess good food is good food :D

hmm.. this post just made me hungry again ;)
