“In Ghana, people often eat simple fried-egg sandwiches bought from a local vendor. The sandwich is usually two eggs, a bit of tomato and onion with it. If you really have money, you buy a Nescafé or hot cocoa, too,” says Conor McCreery, a Canadian who worked as a journalist at a Ghanaian newspaper. “However kenke (sometimes spelled kenkey) is also very popular and probably more common than fried-egg sandwiches. Kenke is made from fermented maize and pounded into a paste. It is often eaten with a hot-pepper sauce,” he says. Since Ghana is an impoverished country, a sizeable portion of the population has breakfast infrequently, or not at all, McCreery says. Many Ghanians rely on one meal per day.
