Ingredient appreciation — what makes Banku special

What sets Banku apart is the handling of palm nut. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the subtly sweet from plantain result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

fufu and soup eating requires communal sharing and is eaten with the hands. The a Accra chop bar atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had Malt Guinness as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Banku is the place to start.
