Is Ghanaian food the best food in Africa?

[Ya?]

nah... the swahili staples like biriyani, ugali, mandazi, chapati, etc. don't hold a candle to the west african counterparts (jollof, fufu, sweet plantain).

west african cuisine is next level with the flavor game

Chapati is Indian/Pakistani...Biriyani is some kind of midddle eastern/south Asian. Only Kenyan thing is ugali and Mandazi.

West Africans are the masters of complex flavours. When you look at good cooking thoughout the diaspora it comes mainly from west and a bit of Central Africans. East African cuisine has been overtaken by Indian/middle eastern cuisine. It doesn’t taste bad but sorry it isn’t impressive.

As a Ghanaian it would be unpatriotic to not claim our food as the crowning glory of Africa.

I give props to Sierra Leone - they can throw down.

Naija food tends to smell like their sewers

What tribe?

I don't even know
All I know is that my momma told me our blood is from Liberia

 

[BillBanneker]

Nah, I'ma go with the Senegalese fam on this one.

I should've learned how to make fish and fried rice dish when I had the chance.

The best african food by far is African American

Plus Cajun counts too

Meh...

WHen it comes to African American foods all i can say is

1. Ya'll fried chicken is second to none. Caribbean people dont know how to make fried chicken the way ya'll do.
   
2. My undying love is that thing they call "low country broil". Fat chicks be having me thinking about ring sizes feeding me this shyt
   
3. and Shrimp & Grits is also my shyt

Outside of that...meh..
BarbeQue is highly highly highly highly overrated. God forbid ya'll put them BBQ sauces on there and it becomes even worse like to me. Ya'll mac&Cheese is . And that both from white and black americans. I just dont care for the way Americans make macaroni and cheese, period.
And i cant eat fish the way americans make it either. I love fish but the way ya'll make it....Just not my thing

Edit: Oh i forgot. Thanks for inventing cornbread, tho. That shyt is crack

When people compliment East African cuisine (ie/ Tanzania/Kenya/etc...) they are really complimenting middle eastern/Indian food/influences.

Thats mainly true for the swahili coast. And maybe Somalia.

That Cajun cuisine looks dope.

Soul food to me doesn’t feel unique enough. It’s food that technically everyone cooks!

Especially Jamaicans they love fried chicken but suck at making it lol!

I need my Jamaican friends to invite me over for a home cooked fried chicken meal cause the Jamaican restaurants hold massive Ls in that department lol.

Haitian fried chicken is completely different and it resembles some of the chicken legs that the Ghanaians are posting on this thread!

Both Haitian and Jamaican or any other island's native fried chicken is horrible compared to the American ones. The only time fried chicken is good there is when they use the american formula which is pretty much over breading it and getting all the seasonsing in the breading from what i can tell. Even then it still sucks in comparison when Caribbean people make it.
Yeah AAs got this fried chicken and cornbread game on lock

But my love is that broil

The only thing I got from this thread is that if I want to try some Nigerian I will not ask a Ghanaians opinion and if I want to try Ghanaian I will not ask a Nigerians opinion


This reminds me when I stayed at Silver Speing and the hotel worker at the desk whose Eritrean told me to avoid Ethiopian at all cost and that they don’t cook food and eat everyone raw

Yeah. That Harlem joint is quite small. Food isn't too pricey. I've heard some good things about it.
