A female student of the Archbishop Porter Girls' Senior High School in Takoradi, identified as Sidi, has got tongues wagging on social media with her unconventional way of eating banku.

Banku is a local Ghanaian food which originated from the Ga people, the indigenes of the Greater Accra Region, Ghana's capital. It is eaten with the hands and served with pepper sauce, fish, meat, or soup.

However, in the video making rounds on social media, Sidi went against tradition and the status quo by eating the food with a fork and knife.

The young lady's unconventional table etiquette surprised students of the Takoradi Technical Institute (TTI), who were seated on the same chair at the eatery with her.

While busily enjoying the meal with her cutlery, one of the TTI students was heard asking Sidi to eat it with her hands.

"I can see you are suffering, use your hand, use your hand," he urged.

Sidi, however, retorted that she was fine and kept on displaying her unorthodox banku eating etiquette.

Sidi later heeded the pressure from the TTI student and reverted to eating the banku the traditional way after washing her hands.
