Pairing Groundnut Soup correctly — a note on Malt Guinness

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Groundnut Soup. I ordered it with Malt Guinness and the nutty and palm-rich elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. dried fish in particular became more prominent in a good way.

fufu and soup eating requires communal sharing and is eaten with the hands. The a Accra chop bar is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Groundnut Soup with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
