Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh previously reported that gari, groundnut and sugar was served at an event.

Apparently, one of the food vendors at the event introduced gari, peppered fish, groundnut, ice cubes and sugar to the menu. In the video posted by @uzomathias, a server was seen scooping garri into a bowl and he made sure to top it with ice cubes, sugar and groundnut.

The plate was also accompanied by a big piece of peppered fish. A server was spotted with about six plates of the garri-meal on a large tray, indicating that several guests at the party were open to the idea of the local delicacy.
