Roasted corn and groundnuts; milled and melded into a jellified mush; left to stand for a while to catch and cast off the groundnut grease; blended with ginger, sugar and Wisa seeds; kneaded into delightful, doughy, sienna globules.
I have missed you. And of course, once again you didnt disappoint. You excited my senses: as I read, the words melted within me to create an awakening of sensations. Chale am hungry.
Funny thing is i never knew what that was called, and today i wanted some. Instead, i liked a spoon of peanut butter. It honestly didnt do me any justice. I mean, quite obvious, right?
hmmm we call it nkate bolo. hahahaha I don't know this name but the description is good enough.
ReplyDeletehahaha@ Nana Fredua- Nkate Bolo is what I know too! People use "Daakoa" in Kumasi though... Pretty good stuff! Makes me so thirsty!
ReplyDeleteMmm these food descriptions are too much for me to handle. Today I already gave into some mouthwatering kelewele....thanks to you!

Matekwor, to your comment #1, I missed reading your comments too! You're hungry for toffees? Lol. It's really a dessert, no?
ReplyDeleteNo, Matekwor, Peanut butter is just the basic ingredient in all these snacks. See how there are always peanuts somewhere in these snacks?
ReplyDeleteWell, Posekyere, I have an inspired theme. Thanks for responding so well to it. We may have to try it again with something else, no?
