roaming_kate23Last Sunday’s episode of Nomad with Carlton McCoy was in Ghana. What I found interesting is there are a lot of African-Americans moving to Ghana..getting in touch with their heritage and past..as Ghana was one of the places where Africans were sent from during slavery, and in fact Carlton went to one of the places that slaves were kept before they made the Middle Passage ,Elmina Castle. It’s one of several castles that were used for that purpose.
Carlton’s show is also about food, and of course there is a lot of variation in food in Ghana.He observed that a lot of the food reminds him of what he gets at home-southern cooking.That makes a lot of sense given that the slaves brought their tastes and flavors with them from Africa and they were adapted over the years.
