Summary
This video demonstrates the traditional Ghanaian way of eating Banku and Okro Stew. It explains that one should not eat a whole ball of Banku or Kenkey at once, but rather half a ball, placing it on a separate plate. The Okro soup is served in a bowl, and meat on another plate, to be eaten with cutlery. The video shows how to combine a piece of Banku with soup and how to eat the meat separately.
