Gari Fortor
Crisp, chewy, pan-roasted manioc granules softened and textured with a little oil. ‘Savouried’ with a dash of all your favourite spices. Balance-dieted with vegetables and fish or lamb or chicken. ‘Varietied’ up with kibbled Kelewele. Set down beside a cool, tall drink. Please, please, stop! I’m already dreaming of lunch at 6 a.m.

hehehehe am making gari fortor for lunch!
ReplyDeleteClearly it was not a good idea for me to miss lunch today. Productivity was high but all references to food such as this one have got me salivating! Okay, I'm outta here...
ReplyDelete3 weeks ago, I would have thought to myself what the heck the big deal about gari fortor was......until I went up to NY and my adopted family showed me there is more to it than just gari and oil (thats all I knew before). I have since etched the recipie with those 2 "kick it up a notch" secret ingredients in my brain and I look for any oppotrunity to make it- so people can tell me how delicious it tastes or how good of a cook. Selfish reasons, I know.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. . .I will be inclined to order gari fortor next time I see it on a menu:) Great description!
ReplyDeleteAnon, I followed my dream and ate Gari Fortor (that's how they spell it at Tante Marie) for lunch.
ReplyDeleteLol, Abena.
ReplyDeleteYummy! You know a foodian like me would love such a post. Wish I were in town...
ReplyDeleteOh how I miss you, Maya. I thought of you (really) when i wrote this!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! You can have it at lunch. Mac Donald's anyone?
ReplyDeleteI'm hungry to that right now ;-)
ReplyDeleteNana Darkoa has a comment on this post :)
ReplyDeleteLol, Flossy.
ReplyDeleteAlex, thanks.
ReplyDeleteNana Kofi, I presume there's a joke somewhere in your comment (?)
ReplyDeleteI am salivating...hahahahaa
ReplyDeleteGreat, Nana F.
ReplyDelete@ Lol, just seen this post...okay this is my Gari Fortor story. Hanging out at La beach last sunday with Nana Kofi. I feel hungry and crave Gari Fortor - specifically from the African restaurant at La Palm. The last time I ate Gari Fortor there it was sooo delicious. So we head there...and the Gari Fortor is no longer good...the chef has changed
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Nana. I noticed that the quality of the fare in many places changes with the chef.
ReplyDeleteNana do you have a nice recipe for me for Gari ???? I just know that I have to add water on the Gari.
ReplyDeleteAlex, I do not, but I promise to find out and let you know asap! :)
