Eating Out In Africa

Listen up everyone!  Don't let this post scare you about eating out in Africa.  I've actually very rarely gotten sick from eating food here.  So this past week our favorite chop bar in town was all out of everything except banku...let's just say I had had my fill of banku for the time being.  So we headed off to a chop bar.  If you are picturing a restaurant from home - erase that from your mind.  It's more of a wooden shack like structure.  Anyways, we ended up ordering Indomie and rice and truthfully it wasn't half bad.  Indomie is just like ramen noodles, and we all know those are right up my alley!!!! Just when we were enjoying a HUGE rat ran by.  Thankfully, he decided our dinner wasn't worth sharing and kept moving.  I had to laugh he was actually pretty cute, but my fellow travelers weren't as impressed.  I can't blame them, he didn't really invite himself in the most pleasant way.  Know this, eating out in rural Ghana will be different than at home, but you can't beat the price - dinner for just GHS 3 (the equivalent to $1.50 USD).  In case you are wondering...I didn't get sick from my dinner.  I ate it all and felt fine the next day.
