There are a lot of dishes in Ghana and each dish comes with a particular sauce or something that goes with it.
Usually, when you sway from the norm, some people find it nauseating but unfortunately, they’ve never tried it before and so do not know how it tastes like.
The hard-knock life of Secondary and Senior High taught us a lot of lessons and so we did a lot of combinations to survive and interestingly, it turned out to be good. Not only in the second cycle schools, even on the streets and at home we ended up swaying from the norm when the norm was not available and created our own food combinations which turned out so great.
These are the unexpected combinations we wish to talk about, stay with us.
1. Koose Vrs Bread
Usually when you buy bread, what is expected to go with it is fried eggs or butter but we started combining it with “Koose” and it turned out just great. Since then, we got stuck to it.
2. Koose Vrs Cocoa Drink
Usually when you prepare a hot cocoa beverage, what comes to mind and you wish to compliment with the beverage is Bread but have you tried it with “Koose” before? Mehn!!! You are likely to ditch your bread.
3. Rice Vrs. Okro Stew
Mostly, rice goes with tomato sauce or soup but try it with Okro Stew and see. It’s even a delicacy for some African countries.

4. Gari vrs. Shitor vrs. Peanut Butter
So usually in school, what we are used to is what we popularly term as “Gashit” which is Gari and Shitor, but have you ever tried to add groundnut paste or peanut butter to it. Thank us later.

5. Pasta vrs. Milk vrs Chocolate
When you’re done cooking your pasta (talia), the next thing to think about is some nice tomato sauce but what happens when you don’t have the ingredients and all you have is milk and some chocolates in your fridge? Do not hesitate to try it, you will love it.
6. Water Melon vrs. Brown Bread
Ever tried water melon with brown bread before? Give it a try, thank us later.

7. Cornmeal vrs. Pepper
Cornmeal or “mmore koko” is best known to go with sugar and some bread but when there is no sugar available and you have pepper, don’t stress, add some to it and you might not need sugar again. In fact that is even medicinal. Even nursing mothers are advised to add pepper to their cornmeal for their babies instead of sugar.

8. Banku vrs. Gari
When cooking Banku all you need is cassava dough and corn dough but what if you don’t have cassava dough and there is Gari available? It will turn out so great you might not even want to use cassava dough anymore.

9. Banana vrs. Vanilla Ice cream
Usually when you go buying vanilla ice cream, banana doesn’t come to mind neither does ice cream come to mind when buying banana but have you tried mixing up the two? Try it.

10. Fufu vrs Pepper Sauce
When you think fufu, the next thing that comes to mind is some palm nut soup, light soup, groundnut soup etc. but have you ever thought of pepper sauce like what comes to mind when you think of Ga Kenkey? Nope!
Then you’re missing out on something great. Some tribes actually eat fufu with hot pepper sauce.
