(Nas, Susan, Vasi, Sam, Loralynne, Dipo)
On Friday night we had the pleasure of dining at a Ghanaian restaurant in Chicago with rising second year Kellogg students Nas (a Ghanaian and President of the Africa Business Club at Kellogg), Vasi (a Liberian), Dipo (a Nigerian and VP of Finance for the Africa Business Club), and Susan (a Chicagoan and President of the Black Management Association at Kellogg). We enjoyed getting to know Nas, Vasi, Dipo and Susan and understanding their perspectives on Africa.
Now this was not our first fore into Ghanaian cuisine. While our friend Nana’s wakye is far superior to Auntie Grace’s, we tried some other traditional Ghanaian dishes that were quite good. In particular, Sam was excited about a dish consisting of chicken in a spicy peanut butter soup and Loralynne enjoyed the Fufu. The only dish we were not wild about was a mashed okra dish, mostly due to the slimy texture. (It was like eating Slimer from Ghostbusters.)
The food was delicious and the company was a lot of fun. But eating with only our hands – and only our right hands at that – will certainly take some getting used to!
