Brief about African dishes

  There's this common saying that;"you're what you eat". We Africans can manifest to that quotation. Most people see Africans as strong willed people,very vibrant and good looking as well. All this is to the help of our healthy delicacies passed on by our ancestors. We Africans adore food especially our tasty spiced up dishes made from our indigenous cooking utensils. Hahaa... Yes we love it simple. No matter how other people view our cooking techniques,we still love to keep to the old fashion way of cooking to preserve our culture and the unique taste we get from the food.
   My part of the African continent,Ghana is a very beautiful country with various amazing delicacies whose pleasant aromas  can bring an almost dying hungry man back to life filled and with happiness. Foreigners experience the unforgettable touch of an African dish and fall completely in love and always yearn for more.

History means a lot to we Africans because it represent some kind of authenticity. This even shows how African dishes are extremely unique  comparing to other continents.
