Dinner customs (习惯) are different around the world. If you are a guest in Ghana(加纳), this
information will help you a lot.
In Ghana, dinner is usually from four in the afternoon to six in the evening. But there are no
strict rules (规则) about time. Whenever a guest arrives. a family offers food. When you go to a
home, the person who receives guests takes you to the living room first. At this time everyone
welcomes you. Then you go to the dinning room. There you wash your hands in a bowl of water.
All the food is on the table.
In Ghana you usually eat with your fingers. You eat from the same dish as everyone else.
But you eat from one side of the dish only. It is not polite to get food from the other side of the
dish. After dinner, you wash your hands again in a bowl of water.
Most meals in Ghana have a dish called fufu. People in Ghana make fufu from the powder
(粉末) of some plants. Sometimes they cut the fufu with a saw(锯子) because it is very hard.
You must chew (咀嚼) fufu well, or you may get sick. You eat fufu with the fingers of your right
hand only.
