“Me pacho Chicken and Jollof” is something I have said almost every day since arriving in Accra earlier this summer. My time is almost up and I can taste a full rack of BBQ Ribs from the local soul food restaurant.

Jollof is special rice that Ghanaians eat frequently to match chicken or fish. The mix is quite spicy and it’s recommended to eat with bottled water. It will be needed.

Unfortunately, many of the students have gotten food poisoning from local food stops, pizza, or their internships. My recommendation is to be conservative and eat the safest meal which is jollof.
