[@rasasonchi5581]

The last bite goes to the kids. Eating from the bowl together is Love. No matter how small there is to share, everyone is full by the time it's all done.

[@missprudys7458]

Your reactions to Ghana always make my day. Thank you so much 🙏🏻, May God grant your heart desires. Love you from Ghana ❤❤❤

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

You're most welcome. We'd love to share more of Ghana. Much love!

[@Optimusbeard-r7q]

You Ashantis are quiet? quiet!!! Whattttt😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Anyway thanks for the reaction.. Ghana loves you ❤

[@healt_hub]

With Ashanti's being quite, they have an adage that says "Ahwene pa Enkasa" which means ‘good waist beads do not make noise’. This is a common proverb among Ghanaians (Ashantis) which implies you should let your deeds or character speak for you, in other words: don’t be arrogant, it’s not attractive - let your achievements speak for themselves!

[@aaronnyiekuagyapong9754]

Ashanti's are actually talkatives...they are mostly quiet in this video cos they prefer speaking Asante Twi even if they can speak English.

[@sylviasworld9397]

Yayyy!!! Im in Accra Ghana right now. The food here is great and I'm definitely enjoying it.

[@officialaddigeneral9469]

Even after when the soup is done Ghanaians still grind pepper, garlic, Ginger, onions.. before adding the soup and the fufu before they eat …. So there is no chance for you getting sick … all the nutrients in the spices makes you healthier ….

[@renney2703]

In some Ghanaians homes…never saw anyone do that growing up.

[@mcsperry6415]

Last bite for the kids to lure them to wash the bowls after everything 😂😂❤

[@priscillafuachie5316]

So true 😂😂

[@rubyampon8797]

Exactly so

[@fayalorrddd]

the second food with the green stew is called "Ampesi with Spinach Stew with Avocado and Salted Fish". it only comes second to Fufu in Ashanti Region.

[@markfrance293]

There is a Ghanaian proverb that says the child who learns to wash their hands well is allowed to eat with adults.

[@Nana-g9x7t]

Ghana to the world 🌎 🇬🇭

As a kid, I hated pounding fufu 😢 😅😅😅 I told my mum I didn't like eating fufu and she said you will still pound the fufu 😅

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

😂 Did she still make you eat it?

[@Myworld-of2lk]

​@@TheDemouchetsREACTyou didn't get what he was trying to say. Pounding fufu is always very annoying but eating is just out of this world depending on your favorite soup. Because we don't want to participate in pounding of the fufu the guys mostly in the house tends to say and I quote "oh mum I won't eat ooo thinking our mothers will find their own way of getting the pounded"

Ah got it!

[@oshinegyir867]

Ampesi was mostly eat by the Akans , and enjoyed by the family together both the young and old.

[@afianyarkoacheampong1986]

1.Cece the Ashantis are not typically quiet but they are more quiet than the Ga people. 2. It is a cultural thing to eat from one bowl. The eldest is allowed to take meat or fish first before the rest. Do not cross over to pick food in front of another person while yall are eating. It's considered disrespectful. 3. The youngest on the table is left with the last bit and he clears the bowls from the table and clean the spills on the floor and park the table and chairs away. Ashantis like the rest of all the ethnic groups in Ghana are very welcoming

[@Celdi_1]

This is what I had for dinner and trust me this taste is sensational 😋🙂 The kids or the younger one always get the last bite.

[@afuajohnson9920]

I am telling you, Asante are not quite😂😂😂😂😂

[@sarforichard4514]

I'm telling you, I'm Asanteni and I'm super quite

[@KobbyArthurtv]

🔥🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯🔥🇬🇭🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@naakaiodametey5996]

Asante loves you sister

[@officialaddigeneral9469]

The last bite is left to the kids and any younger person around …. But when the food is very delicious nobody wants to get up and leave it to the kids …. Everyone just want to finish the whole meal ..

[@missprudys7458]

The adults normally takes the first bites whiles the last bites are usually left for the children or the younger ones in terms of age difference

[@cynthiaannan5442]

I love watching your videos ❤️

[@edengarden3568]

one of my favorite dish as a ghanaian. Not only taste and easy to prepare but very nutricious. The leaves you see are blood purifier. Mothers who just deliver eat that for a week or so to purify their blood. So these people in that region hardly sick, not over weight in the men or women. The food is straight from the farm to the table. No refrigeration. 2days old vegetable in the market will not sell.

[@lucyboakye505]

❤❤❤❤🇬🇭🇬🇭

[@MEDIA.AFRICA]

Lol sometimes the last bite becomes a battle so hilarious

[@yanksonappiahdavid7494]

And for most communities we eat the family style. We eat it together

[@oshinegyir867]

This is our our African Soul Food

[@betganggh]

The thing about Ghana, is our markets are very large, the idea is to make everything available so you don't have to go to another place to get something

[@becca4478]

Ture we normally don't get sick, becus we eat in all kind of weather..... 😅. Most of our dishes involve soup ❤ 🇷🇺

[@ronaldessel9095]

All the Akans Ashantis, Fantis, Akuapems, Nzemas, etc. have almost the same tradition in West Africa. Thanks for the video

[@royivarlarsen7519]

Love you ❤😊

[@fayalorrddd]

large markets in Ghana are normally located around major centers where people.from different places come to pick buses and cars to move to incredibly long distances. there are smaller markets like the one this guy finds himself at where you can quickly grab a few basic things and head back quickly home.

[@ConstanceOwusu-yr4wk]

The last bite goes to the kids 😊😊😊😊😊...so the olds will stand up and leave the last bite for the kids to enjoy 😊

[@paakojofynn]

My favourite food right there

[@chaskeleconcepts]

I JUST HEARD my man telling his wife not to chew. phew! what a relief.

[@asiedub]

The last bite goes to the person who will clean up the place, most likely the kids.

[@rawvisionz9343]

Asante’s are not quiet 😂😂😂

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

They’re quiet in the videos we watch😅

[@empiretvgh]

​​@@TheDemouchetsREACTtrust me they are one of the loudest In Ghana😂😂

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Oh my😂😂

[@LIFEHEALTHCARE-jh2ej]

The Ewes are the most quiet people in Ghana but they hadly forgives wen you offend them.@@TheDemouchetsREACT

[@emmanuellaa.lartey3365]

@@TheDemouchetsREACT @LIFEHEALTHCARE-jh2ej And almost all of the Nothern region (The frafra,the Dagatis and the dagombas but their festivals are not quite).. Ga is the Loudest followed by Ashanti(They are so entitled and really proud in a Good Way)

[@kukuboh4349]

We don't have a specific time for it . One it depends on the quantity and how soft you want , more soft the longer time is takes and also some cassava are hard so you need pound for longer than the soft ones

[@oshinegyir867]

This kind of food ( Ampesi) we normally eat together

[@vivianboahemaah4382]

Yeah now preparing fufu is much easier .you can use fufu grander or a normal blender to blend the cassava and plaintain without going through the stress of pounding

[@emmanuelkudze1776]

Ashanti's are quiet? They are the loudest people in Ghana 😂

[@rockline6114]

Oh bla😂😂😂

[@emmanuelkudze1776]

@@rockline6114 na lie? 😂😂😂

[@abigailmensah9314]

That’s a lie. Ga people are the loudest

[@yanksonappiahdavid7494]

It is customary to leave the last bite to the kids on the table. It almost compulsory for an adult to leave some for the younger ones if they are on the table. The oldest person talks the first bite tho

[@jenn.a]

the duration of the fufu pounding depends on how you want the texture. and these days, there r fufu pounding machines u can use

[@Ceasar8980]

By God's grace, I eat only Ghanaian traditional foods and i swear to God i have never been hospitalized my entire life. I am over 34 now. All thanks to our MAKER🙏

[@delaagra2846]

Elders takes the first bits and the kids have the last bit

[@stewardschrist2602]

How long it takes depends on how much fufu you're making. Fufu for one person would probably take 15-20mins to prepare. Maybe even less depending on who's pounding.

[@antisala1438]

The biggest market are beside...Is huge market place

[@FamenetCosmeticsTV]

The pounding depends on how hard the cassava is

[@healt_hub]

it can take about 15 to 25mins to pound fufu for a family of 3 to 4. But u can't be specific because the plantain or cassava can be harder than expected to pound.

[@eviedramani8961]

The last bite is usually for whoever is going to wash the bowls which is usually the duty of the youngest😂 As for the history of Ghana, you need to be ready to know that you will be delving into the topic most people do not want to talk about, which is slavery. We do have a lot of other things that make up our history but the trans-atlantic slave trade is a big part, just so you know. It would actually be nice if you covered it. The Ashantis played a huge role in it, in a good way and we respect them for that. I am not an Ashanti by the way but a proud Ghanaian from the North of Ghana, who would be even more proud if this was covered. Thank you for you reactions per usual. God loves you and bless you.

[@afua2602]

The last bite is for the youngest persons

[@oshinegyir867]

Taro leaves and turkey berries

[@lollie1044]

This is the first time I've heard someone say Ashantis are quiet😂😂

[@akuaapau8696]

Your can use 30min to 1 hour to finish pounding fufu

[@KobbyArthurtv]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@mragyengovlogs]

Seing is believing as the saying goes, please visit Ghana and Kumasi to be specific find it your own self weather Asantes are quiet or not, you will never regret visiting and mind you anywhere Asantes are praised or recommended others will come and condemned it.

[@oshinegyir867]

The first bite will be the elder and the last bite will go to the children

[@ansahbismarkyeboah3070]

Normally the last bite goes to the younger one among

[@fayalorrddd]

how long it would take to pound fufu depends on the quantity of yams and plantains you'll use to prepare. in the end, u suppose to get a mushy mixture of both, and free of any plumps.

[@kingo3937]

the adults leave the last bite for the kids.

[@princessquarcoo925]

Ashanti’s are not quiet people oo😂

[@cynthiaannan5442]

The kids eat the last bite

[@joemanu2880]

They seem quite because traditionally they not suppose to talk while eating especially.

[@akorfaaisha7562]

Good

[@elormblake8924]

Did i hear you say Ashantis are quiet people 😂

[@AbdulNasiru-wd2dm]

If u can pound fufu you will never go to the gym for any muscles 💪

[@akuaapau8696]

But there are fufu machines so it doesn't take that long anymore

[@officialaddigeneral9469]

We eat Waakye for breakfast

[@oshinegyir867]

Mostly the kids take the last bit

[@khaleembinsstudio9078]

To be frank Ashanti’s are loud, they are quite because they can’t speak English. Most Ashanti’s don’t have control of the English language but are talkative when it comes to their native language, Twi.

[@oshinegyir867]

Tarro leaves

[@basiratubonsu-bandoh2010]

😂🤣 The Ashantis are quiet??? That's the loudest and most boastful tribe in Ghana 😂.

Asantes are never quiet, madam. Asantes were one of the major reasons why the British flee from ghana led by an Asante woman named Yaa Asantewaa strong 💪🏾 👏
