Kenkey Sellers in Ghana have decided to embark on a \u201cNo more free pepper\u201d campaign for their 1000s of customers across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their decision is based on the high cost of pepper, tomatoes onions, and other items they use to make their different sauces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This decision by these women has caused panic among their customers. Some feel their decision will soon influence their colleagues who sell fufu and banku as these meals cannot be eaten without their accompaniments, be it soup, stew, or fresh pepper sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For educational purposes, Kenkey is a local dish in Ghana. Kenkey is produced by steeping grains of maize in water for about one week before they are then milled and kneaded with water into a dough. The dough is allowed to ferment for four days to a week before part of the dough is cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dough is pre-cooked into a gelatinous paste and wrapped in dried plantain leaves or maize husk and cooked into kenkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
