One of the most fun parts of traveling for Heifer is trying all the new cuisines. I’ve tried some pretty weird stuff in my travels—goat brains just to name one—but for the most part I’ve loved getting to taste the foods of the world.

Ghanaian food hasn’t disappointed, either. As you would expect, rice is a staple and available almost anywhere. Jollof rice is good if you like to spice things up a bit. A couple of my favorites have also been red red, a bean stew made with red pepper and red palm oil, and kele wele (pronounced “killy willy.”), which are fried plantains on the not-too-sweet side.

| Grasscutter soup. |
But I also really wanted to try grasscutter. It’s a local delicacy and, not to sound cliché, but, When in Rome, right?
