It’s been almost a year since I last posted. I was ill around the end of the year and completely lost my appetite. After that I’ve just been too lazy. Especially lazy to write full posts with recipes and explanations about the various things I’ve been cooking. But that ends today… uh, maybe.
Today’s post is just an old picture I found on my phone SD card. Rice I know and chicken I recognize, but what is the rest of that grey stuff? The reason I posted it is a cautionary tale about buying frozen vegetables in Ghana. Apart from peas and maybe broccoli, I’d say don’t bother. You’ll only get mushy, weird-tasting stuff because the supermarkets don’t take good care of their frozen stuff all the way along the supply chain. It will thaw out and refreeze at some point, as anyone who has ever bought grainy ice cream will testify.
So this awam chicken… stew? Not only looked unappetizing but it also tasted very average, thoroughly unimpressive. Better to buy fresh vegetables if you can afford them, or canned if you want to use preserved. Even Ghana supermarkets can’t mess those up. A word to the wise is enough.
I really need a better camera, but I’m not going to make that an excuse for not posting.
