In other news, YEN.com.gh reported that mages of jarred Waakye, one of Ghana’s favourite local dishes packaged with added shito, stew, gari and macaroni have erupted tons of commentaries from social media users.
Usually, waakye vendors wrap the people’s favourite food in large leaves called katemfe leaves or package it in a takeaway bag or plastic bowls.
Most Ghanaian opt for the local dish for breakfast, or its alternative, porridge known as koko.
