Wednesdays are the big market day in this area (Actually I think it is that day in almost every area I have been in, I wonder why that is?) We headed over to see the market that first wednesday that I was there. You could definitely buy cassavas- they were all over the place. But then again it is the main part of Fou Fou and everyone eats Fou Fou each and every night in Ghana so it is no wonder there was so much of it at the market. Plantains too.
These are palm fruit which is used in a palm fruit soup. There is a lot of pounding needed to make both palm fruit soup and fou fou
They let me try to help with the palm fruit soup but as I almost turned over the container twice as I pounded the women quickly got the stick out of my hands
Makiing fou fou is not always a happy thing but this woman made nice for the camera.
