As long as you like chillies you will like Ghanaian food. I personally prefer bank to fufu but like groundnut soup with okra. Jollof rice is popular as is waakye (rice and beans). Red red is a dish most foreigners like - fried plantain with beans. Fried yam with pepper sauce is a popular street food as is kenke with fish.
In the mornings and evenings egg and bread is served at the taxi stations and other places.
I love Ghanaian food and cook my version of it most of the time but my husband cooks fufu and soup on Sunday - but the fufu is out of a packet.
Local ingredients are easily available at local markets.
