The first time I traveled to Ghana in 1971 I lived in Nungua along the coast and taught school. There I grew to love Ga kenkey, spicy shito, and fried fish. Though kenam and its accompaniments are easily obtained in Ghana, all three must be home-prepared when outside that environment. This classic meal was one of the first birthday dinners my adopted nephews requested when they came to live with us in 2002.
