A representative of Pizzaman Chickenman, whose identity remains unknown, has made headlines after he confidently presented American streamer IShowSpeed with the restaurant’s jollof rice in customised branded bowls.

However, many social media users questioned the decision, arguing that the restaurant had no business representing Ghana’s cuisine on such a global platform.

She listed several local dishes the American streamer should have sampled during his stay.

According to her, rice dishes are common worldwide, but fufu, a stretchy staple made from cassava or plantain and served with goat light soup, is a uniquely Ghanaian experience.

She added that Chef Abbys could have prepared dishes such as banku with okro soup, boiled yams with fried plantain, or other indigenous meals to introduce IShowSpeed’s fans to authentic Ghanaian cuisine.
