Kelewele

Deep-fried-till-golden, diced, ginger-glorified plantain, sweetening the Accra night air. Pecked while still hot and almost aglow. Relish with roasted groundnuts if you wish. Love it, but don’t be a calorie counter.

  5. Ignore your car's peril. Feed your body tank with human fuel.

  11. Kelewele sounds too much like "calories", but you have just solved it for me: "ginger-glorified plantain" is what I'll have tonight :-)

  12. I missed the 'obvious' similarity between "calories" and "Kelewele", Kajsa. Enjoy your calories tonight. ;-)
