Ghanaian Food at the Obama breakfast July 11, 2009
Posted by betumi on Thu, 09/03/2009 - 18:26
Does anyone know where I can find photos of the FOOD served to the Obama entourage at the Castle in July (see blog postings at betumi.com/blog.html for Sept. 2 and 3). Thanks.
I doubt if anyone was allowed to film the great one munching on his 'ABOLO' and 'KENKEY'
I dont think protocol allows that sort of jowl clashing amongst dignitaries to be made public. I only saw suggestive pictures of dishes that were allegedly served but they weren't from the Presidential platter. But then again i could be wrong. The way MP's were busy clicking their camera phones in a right show of Akwaaba (absolutely undignified) solidarity probably never stopped even when they were eating.
Obama takes a spoonful...CLICK!
Michelle takes a dainty bite...CLICK
Presso passes the Abollo...CLICK
Aunty Naadu drops her napkin...CLICK
Nana Konadu picks a crumb...CLICK
Rawlings gives a burp...CLICK
IGP steps on his toes...CLICK
Rawlings lets out a howl...CLICK
Attorney General bangs the table with fork and calls for order...CLICK
Minority leader spills the salt...CLICK
Majority leader tosses some over his shoulder to dispel the bad luck...CLICK
Archbishops's cross drops into his sauce...CLICK
The Chief Imam blots it clean for him...CLICK
Obama looks on bemused...CLICK
So i really could be wrong and there could be some footage or pictures out there somewhere. Best if you contact the Chief of Staff at the Castle Osu to see if he will oblige with private videos and pictures of the table setting but dont say i didn't warn you if you are charged for treason or something worse...aye :-)
You know how things are blown out of proportion these days hmn? And pots calling kettles black and blacks calling kettles pots, with kettles whistling their disgust and pans in turn overflowing with the froth of wrath? Best to stay clear so you dont get steamed. Its only food and Ghanaian ones at that. Any Auntie Akweley, Maame Bruwaa, Hajiha Azarra and Dada Medekuku-loo can rustle up any of dem kinda chow for you to take na pictures. Or get a Cookery book and scan the pictures. Simples!!!
I have seen your blog citizen Bentumi and read it a few times but where is this request for Akyeke na paya going? I am curious to read the accompanying scripture lol.
THE CRINGE FACTOR! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT GOD MADE THREE WORLDS AND THAT I COME FROM THE THIRD WORLD. THE ISSUE OF RACE IS GEOGRAPHICAL AND NOT A STATUS SYMBOL AND NEITHER IS MY SKIN BLACK NOR YOURS WHITE.
