Kokonte
Kokonte is a meal which is eaten in some parts of Africa like Togo, Ghana and others. In Ghana, to be precise, Kokonte is eaten by most of the ethnic groups like the Ga, Akan, Hausa and so on. Most people like to refer to Kokonte as "Face The Wall" because it was initially associated with the low class, and one wouldn't want to eat it due to that. It is also a popular term used by the Ghanaian locals. Kokonte usually is brown,
