My Favorite Food

It is with such great luck today, that all delicious food is easily available to us. Sometimes, I wonder how life was in the ancient past when our ancestors did not have easy access to food which we have today. One doesn't have to go to China to have a taste of thier food. Just visit any restaurant in the city and get familiar with these hot and salty tastes. Do in the same way when you want to eat any African traditional dish, Touzafi(TZ), for example.

Although I can find food of all kinds in stores and restaurants, there is this food that stands out as my favorite one. I easily walk past the Fufu, the Wakye, Jollof, and Fried rice. But when I sit in the restaurant and see the words Banku with hot pepper and Tilapia, I drool immediately.

Banku is a traditional good of the Ashanti's. It is prepared with fermented corn dough and cassava dough. The fermented corn dough and the cassava dough is mixed in a pot with water. It is then kept on the fire and after some time it coagulates then it is stirred till it becomes yellow. The banku is then kept in a container or rubber to make a shape and that is how banku is prepared. It is can be served with okro soup, ground soup, or even light soup but I prefer it with grinded hot pepper and Tilapia. Some people complain about how difficult it is to stir it but I don't see any difficulty. I guess I'm just blinded by my love for it. The thoughts of it alone makes my mouth wet.

The first time I ate it was during my time in Junior high school. After a long day at school, I came home to meet my sis preparing something different from what we usually have at home. I was so hungry that I hurried for the first plate served, that was the best feeling I have had for any type of food.

When eating this delicious food, I understand how rich and inviting the Ashanti's culture is. It gives me a feeling of warmth and cheerfulness at the time of eating. Food of this stature as per my opinion should be a crime because of the texture and taste alone keeps me coming back for more.

Even though my favourite food is Banku with hot pepper and Tilapia, I enjoy other foods as well like Jollof and Fried rice. However, I feel when it comes to eating daily, nothing beats homemade food. The food we eat daily is what helps us gain energy. We cannot eat our favourite food daily as it will become boring then, but our staple food is something we enjoy eating on an everyday basis.
