 like it feels dry in the beginning and then it gets super sticky. I like this. You like this? It's fresh. Yeah, it's crunchy. Very hard. Yeah, you have to bite into it. It's very crunchy, very hard, very dope. But it's also sour. The sour thing I'm not too fond of. That's a nice little mouth. Hello and welcome to another video. Today we're having a really fun one because Elaine is going to try out, I mean from our previous video that you saw, she hasn't eaten some of the onion snacks or she doesn't even know about them. So today she's going to try them out. I'm going to be cultured today. Yeah, I have to stare this thing a little bit because it tends to, you know. Welcome to our channel. Me plus you. It's us. My name is Kwame and my name and today is Snack Attack. Snack Attack, Ghana edition. Ghana edition. So she's going to try some Ghanaian snack that she's never had before. And pardon me, I can't tell you exactly the consistency as in what's the ingredients, so I'm trying to say. So I'll find it out and whatever she tries, I'll put it on the screen for you to see what's inside it and how it probably tastes. So I would try my best to tell her some of the key ingredients and some of them. So she would try this, she would try that, try this, she would try that. It's not necessarily arranged in the way that it all goes together. No. And maybe to start with, where did you get these snacks? So you can't really get them in the neighborhood or it depends on where you live, but you would normally get them at a place like Makolah, you know, like a market. Yeah, you have to go to the market to get some of these things. So it's an acquired taste. It's not an acquired taste. I mean it's some of the things that your parents or your mother will go, not your parents, your mother especially will go to the market and will bring snacks to the house. Okay. Yeah, so when she comes from the markets, there are a lot of other snacks that we might do part two off. Okay. That we didn't get. This is a good start. But this is a good start. Okay. So snacks and drinks and yeah, you try it and she's going to rate. Oh, I'm going to rate, okay. So one to ten. Yes, taste and rate, like you know, what you think about them. So which one are you going to start with? Is there any specific order you want me to try? No, you can go from here to there. When you take it, I'll tell you the name and then you start. A bit scared for this one. So let's try this one first. You're always scared for this particular one. Let me show it in there. Look at this. Why are you scared for it? It looks like an icky kind of texture. It's not an icky. Maybe smell it. Okay. It smells like nutty. Yes, it is very nutty. Okay. So this is a mixture. This is called dakwa. Dakwa. Dakwa. It's a mixture of groundnut, pepper and other spices. And of course, I think corn flour has been made into this. So if the consistency of no, if the ingredients is wrong, I'll put it on the screen when I find out. Is it baked or it's like just mashed? I think it's mashed again. I don't know whether they cook it completely, but I think the groundnut is... Let me try. Yes, try. How do I eat it? You can just bite it too. Just take a little bite. Oh, it's very dry. Is it very dry? I thought it would be more, oh, it's spicy. It's very spicy, yes. Dakwa is spicy. I'm sticky. Yeah. And I really like up here. So we will eat this whole thing? Yeah. You don't eat it all at once. You eat it slowly. I said, it's a snack that you eat for a while, not like immediately you take like the whole thing in your mouth. That's why I want my cup. Yeah. Just try it out more time and just tell me what your reading is. Oh, yeah. It's actually... It's actually what is it? It's like, it feels dry and makes any, and then it gets super sticky. Like, I'm scared to talk. So you think it's going to be on your teeth? Yeah. It's going to be everywhere. Oh my gosh. Hmm. Okay. I think the second bite was better because I knew what I expected, but I would give it a four. A four over ten. Okay. It's not my style of... I can imagine if you have it with a drink, like a bagel or something. Like a what? Like a cold beverage, and then this next to it or no. I've never seen anybody eat Dakwa with... On the go. Yeah, it's on the go. I've never seen anybody... No, no, no. It's definitely a four. Okay. I've never seen anybody combine Dakwa with a drink. Wow. Yeah. Wow. You just munch on this, this whole bowl. Yeah. And do you buy only one if you buy or you buy like three in the whole day set? Oh, no. It's just one thing snack. As far as I know, I wouldn't buy the whole set. It's not bad, but, well, let's move on. Okay. Moving on. You can try one drink. Which one would you recommend after Dakwa? I would say this, because it's also spicy. Oh, we're going the spicy route. Yeah, it's also spicy so that you just know. Just stir it up a little bit, because it tends to settle. Smells like ginger. Yes. This is predominantly ginger and some of the spices, I think pepper is also in there. They add a little bit of milk, but it's also spicy. It's not too spicy. Okay. And that's good. I like it. You like this? It's fresh. Yeah. It's fresh. Yeah. It's closest to this beverage, alcoholic beverage, bokehke. It's closest to the taste of bokehke. It's a bit milky. Yes, it's a bit milky. I think ginger, there's other spices and maybe pepper. I don't know if what they put exactly inside, but I put it on the screen, like I said. Gonna finish this. Okay, so at least what do you like? This is 9. 9. This is Lamuji. So you see the name also. Let me not finish it, because I have a lot of snacks to go. I need to focus. Yeah. So I would say 9. It's nice. It's slight. I thought it would be, I said spicy. It was like very spicy, but it's subtle. It's subtle. Yes. Yeah. And when what time of the day would you drink this? Oh, anytime of the day, you won't. Anytime of the day. If you're walking in the markets and you're parched and a spicy drink is your thing, especially this service is usually cold. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. The service is usually cold. Yeah, it's almost lemony. Like because of the ginger, it's kind of a dead lane. Like a lemon drink. Like you want to be freshened up, but I want to be awake. Okay, you are saying it's almost like a lemonade, but it's not lemony. I don't think there's lemon elements in there. No, there's no lemon elements, but because of the ginger, it's like a lemon, it's a refreshing experience. Okay. That's gonna be wet like lemony. Okay. I'll offer this one. Okay. What do we have here? So this is polo. Polo. Yeah, polo. It smells doughy. Yes, it's very doughy. It's fried, I believe. Yes, it's fried. And it's sweet as well. Yeah, you can go in. It's crunchy, very hard. Oh. Yeah, you have to bite into it. It's very crunchy, very hard, very doughy. And it's made of wood. I think flour, sugar, I think it's the same process like baking a cake that's a little different. It's a little different. Then I don't know how they make it this hard. I'll again put it on the screen so that you know what the ingredients are. That's nice. And possibly how it's prepared. This and this goes really well. Wow. I didn't know what that really would combine. What's this? Polo. What does it mean? Polo. I came to meet the name. I don't know what polo means. Maybe Google. Yeah, it's just like a hard biscuit doughnut. Yeah. That's how it is. So I think the ingredients would be similar to how you make a doughnut. The flour, the nutmeg, you know. Yeah. It's also a layer's taste. Yeah. There are different ingredients, nutty and then spices. It just only go. It's also only go. Most of these things, again, like I said, they are found in the market, in big markets, Manpola or Cerco or wherever. It's a snack that your mother will probably buy at home and you will try. Not only down try this a bit oily. Okay. How do you know? They only need water because it will be full. I mean, people like polo. I don't know how many polo people eat, but people do like polo. An average. Yeah. Okay. So what's your rating for this one? Eight. Oh, that's pretty high. Sorry, Dapua. Sorry. It's nothing personal. I'm going for this. This is asana. I doubt this will be my juice, but. Yeah, this is asana. It smells like malt. I think I also don't really know. Also in this? I also don't know. It smells a bit fermented though. I don't know what's, again, I'll put it on the screen. I've had asana my whole life and I don't know what's the ingredients for making asana. So I'll put it on the screen for you guys to check out what goes into asana. It's better than I expected, but I still look like it's punchy. Yeah. So it's comes like it's not like bam. Yeah. It's a slow take. It's a bit like the texture should be like cool. Really? Like a little bubbly. Okay. Yes. The color too. Yeah. Yeah. You see the bubbles? Yeah. Probably. Asana should have a lot of bubbles on it. Yeah. And you should be careful when you open the bottle. Yeah, because we have a bit of an accident. Yeah. But it's also sour. The sour thing I'm not too fond of. That reminds me of malt. You want a taste? No, I don't want to taste. No taste. See if it's good. You are an expert. Yeah. Asana if it's very cold is very nice. I've had asana my whole life. Yeah. So maybe if it's really cold then it's better. It's usually sold with ice actually. It's like an ice coffee. Oh, maybe then I'll like it more. Yes. So it's sold with ice. So when you buy an asana from like the women they have a usually sell it in huge gourds, right? So you eat. So the gourd has the asana inside and there's ice in it. I feel the bubbles coming up. Yeah. And it has ice in it and then they fetch it's usually sold in a plastic bag as well with straw on the go. So they put a piece of ice in your asana and then they put I feel like the people also drink it with milk. Oh, it's like an ice is mixed between ice coffee and garden coke. Yeah. And a bit of a malt. Yeah. So that's asana. I'm going to put the here is to here to here or to read in the episode what is made of. Let's look at there. Okay, last one. So drink number two. An eight. An eight. Oh, that's good for us. I said eight. No. Yeah. No, this was eight. This was eight. What are you going to give this? Oh, I thought this again. Now then a seven. You give us a seven to asana. I feel this one is a bit more accessible in my own opinion. Okay. It's more an everyday string. Okay, we're going to go for this booger. It's I see some ground nuts. Stephanie Yeah, it's fried. There's ground nuts in there. It's made from corn dough. I think mostly as a base ingredient. Get in. Yeah. We warmed it up a little. Yeah, it's very hard. So And this is I don't know what it's called in Akraba. It's back in Kumasi. We call this Ariyesu. Ariyesu, that's the name we call it back in Kumasi. I don't know if there's a way it's called in Akraba. It's like a sister of the buffroats, no? In a way. You know, it's closer also to doughnuts type. Have a sit with the ground nuts and see how it's like. I like it. You do? Yeah. Yeah. It's chewy. It's nice. Like we have really something to chew on. Yeah. And it can definitely taste just fresh. So you're going to show it to the camera? Oh, yeah. Truly, I'm excited about the ground nuts. The ground nuts on there as well. And this is how the polo looks like. This is how polo looks like. And this is the Kwa. Is that Kwa? The sand bowl. Sand bowl. I like it. It's very filling. I don't think I will ever crave it. So I'll give it a six. Okay. It's a bit too fatty for me. What's the kind of snacks are oily? I like polo better because it's more like pastry. Okay. This is really like a buffroat. Like you want to dip it. I would combine these two. Is that possible? That's entirely up to you. I mean, it's a style. So now we're ending with dessert. It's a dessert. I don't know if you call it dessert, but this is yogurt and couscous, I would say. So it's called Bokina. I actually have to give some credits to my colleagues because they kept talking about Bokina, but they didn't introduce me to it. So final. But that's just so much suspense. I'm running dry in. Yeah. Okay, it smells over deep. This is my jam. And it's very filling too. Like it's a mule on its own. Oh, this is very good snack. Yeah. It smells a lot like the texture because you cannot really drink it fully. Yeah, you have to chew on the couscous or is it millet? I think it's millet. Yeah, I think it's millet in there. It's like a bit of a sweet yogurt, like vanilla like, and then they have like couscous, small couscous or millet in it. I'm like, how elaborate is it? I think I'll get this at 10. At 10 out of 10. Can I bring this to work tomorrow? Yeah, you can. And what time of the day do you eat this or any time? You can have your lunch and then maybe between lunch and supper when you're about to finish work and you feel a little, you know, I need to touch up or I need to eat something or you have it before and need lunch instead because it's a mule on its own. It's quite heavy. What quantity do you eat this? Oh, 500 ml, like a small bottle, a small bottle. You just shake and just drink from the bottle and finish it up. But you actually finished it. It's nice. Then out of 10. Bring me more boquina. I'll say, I really liked it. Yeah. So these are a few Canadian snacks that she's never had, that she's tried. Let us know in the comments which other snacks we may have missed and we should just hunt for it. I'm also curious to hear which is people's favorite. Maybe that whole boquina fan base that I should be aware of. Let us also know which ones that we tried, have you tried and is your favorites also in the comment section. Yes. And please, if you want some more. We still have more. Come for it. Munch it. Yeah, I think maybe this afternoon I'll drink this cold with ice blocks and then with the straw. What you can do if you don't have the cubes, we can also put it in the freezer for a little bit and then it's really cold. Okay. This snack attack is not over, but we'll take it off the screen for now. Yeah. Okay. Thank you so much for watching. All right. So we'll catch you in the next one from our previous video to this one to me trying Dutch snacks next. Yes. Hopefully we'll live up to exploitation. Let's see. See you next time.
