Pairing Waakye correctly — a note on Malt Guinness

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Waakye. I ordered it with Malt Guinness and the subtly sweet from plantain elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. groundnuts in particular became more prominent in a good way.

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