Ironically enough, our first foray into the world of food in Accra was at a Mexican Restaurant named El Paso, the only Mexican restaurant in Accra (or so we were told). The food was beyond fresh, the presentation superb, and the service impeccable. For this pleasure we parted with 55 cedis, which was roughly $18.62 USD. We even broke the ice by interviewing the Philippine manager and her husband who was a chef at another restaurant in Accra.
I feel a little ashamed that we went right for regional American food, but I suppose when you are in a strange place familiar foods are comforting. Tomorrow we pick up something from the pharmacy called cipro to help us deal with upset stomach that may be caused by any street food we will ingest. I am going to be looking for fried bread called "puff puff". We were told to carry powdered sugar with us to sprinkle on top for an improvised funnel cade.
