Strategies for avoiding groundnut in Accra
Hello Everybody. I will be spending several months in Ghana from june to august, mainly Accra. I am from Canada. I have quite a serious allergy to peanuts. I know groundnut is a common ingredient for many Ghanaian dishes, so I am preparing strategies in advance in order avoid it and remain alive. I am planning to:
- Avoid street food
- Avoid some specific dishes such as groundnut soup, kuli kuli, etc.
- Make most of my meals in my apartment with raw ingredients or with food the I got from a supermarket
- pack multiple epi pens
- bring large quantity of snacks from home, as much as will fit in my checked bag
- make cards with pictures and phrases in Twi telling people about my allergy, if they seem not to understand
Is there any other strategies I should be doing to avoid groundnut while in Ghana?
