Amanfoo's True Stories
Konkonte
By Kwame Kyei Baffour, P&G Prefect '87, Ramseyer
I remeber jumping out of the window because of
konkonte.
We were attending vacation classes at K-Ploy with some girls from Wesley Girls and Accra Girls.We created the
impression before these ladies that we had never heard of anybody who eats KONKONTE.They swore by the beautiful sands of
Accra and Cape coast that they had neither seen nor heard anything called Lapiwa and that they felt that anybody who could put
such stuff in their belly should be jailed for self-degradation.Well, one day Agadas and I sneaked into a nearby 'bar' and
consumed about fourteen kilos of this hot stuff in a record 15 minutes! Before we could wash our hands we saw three of the ladies
coming up towards the bar. I jumped out of the window first and Agadas followed.Where and how we landed we did not know.
Quite strangely, these ladies who nearly made me break my sexy limbs entered the bar, each one of them holding an 'apotoyewa'
,with the brown stuff dancing gleefully in the multi-coloured soup! Abi!
We walked back to class where Computer was delivering
his 'ntuo-filled' lectures.The ladies walked in a few minutes later, sweating all over. From that day onwards I stopped taking the words
of women for it, and I have never been proved wrong for doing so! You never know what konkonte can do! May God bless the
one who invented this delicay.
But actually, if these white people knew that we have ever eaten such stuff, I am sure many of them
would fear us!
