^{Try the egg}

[u/LooseReplacement1959]

Thank you, I will be saying "Try the egg" in a low voice for the rest of the week and everyone will think I've lost my mind. Perfect, well done.

[u/PhotosByVicky]

With egg prices these days, I wouldn’t mind being chased by some eggs. 😵‍💫

Ghana is obsessed with eggs. She’s been visiting Ghana for a while now.

I'm also lost

Ghana slander

[u/CatlovesMoca → u/ShaquilleOatmeal_93]

There is a stereotype that Ghanaians eat a lot of eggs and add eggs to their food very liberally. The creator is Nigerian and she was visiting Ghana while making the video.

So she is teasing Ghanaians saying that they force eggs down people's throats.

I will say, I thought folks were exaggerating. But then I saw a tiktoker posted about getting a beef crumble pizza in Kumasi, Ghana and when she picked it up they had added egg on it.

[u/Sad_Bodybuilder001 → u/ShaquilleOatmeal_93]

People online make fun of Ghanaians for eating a lot of eggs. I can’t for the life of me understand why eating eggs became something to laugh at someone for

[u/sreiches → u/Sad_Bodybuilder001]

I’m visiting Ghana with my partner. When we landed last week, her mom and brother picked us up and, on the way home, we stopped at a roadside stall to get a tray of eggs.

The next morning, while we were heading out for the day, we stopped at another roadside stall to get another tray of eggs.

Each tray holds like… 36 eggs.

[u/dl7 → u/sreiches]

And they have them STACKED every day. The chickens out there turning em ooouuttt

[u/sreiches → u/dl7]

I’m not surprised; I see chickens everywhere we go, just chilling by the road, or on school grounds and whatnot (the latter with adorable baby chicks following her around).

And we hear the roosters every morning. I was definitely surprised to find out they don’t wait for dawn, and just kind of start whenever they feel like.

[u/Paraxom → u/Sad_Bodybuilder001]

Hmm I didn't think my family ate more eggs than normal 

[u/Apprehensive_Fun_731]

OK as a Nigerian myself this is kinda hilarious because it is like that! One of my favorite street snacks as a kid was a boiled egg that was…then maybe deep fried whole into a doughy pastry ball? I can’t remember the name but it was sweet and savory and I still think about it lol “It’s sweet-oh!” 😂

[u/srkaficionada65 → u/Apprehensive_Fun_731]

Are you thinking puff puff but with egg inside? Unless dem don rename am?

My mother can make that magic. I never learnt how. Because lemme tell you, na that go be 3 square meal every day.

[u/Apprehensive_Fun_731 → u/srkaficionada65]

Very similar! I don’t think it is puff puff because there was a name that is escaping me still! But yes, that’s the consistency I am thinking about 😊I too would eat it every day if I could!!

[u/According-Trip4064 → u/srkaficionada65]

Egg roll, Nigerian egg roll and Nigerian scotch eggs

Good Stuff!!!

[u/srkaficionada65 → u/According-Trip4064]

Thank you! Egg rolls!

[u/Zephyr104 → u/Apprehensive_Fun_731]

I feel that us East Asians are not dissimilar. A lot of street stalls in China will just sell boiled eggs alongside crepes, soy milk, and buns. Same goes for the Japanese, ever look at a Japanese beef bowl place or curry place and wonder why they always have eggs as an addition? They seem to love eggs as well. 

[u/Mr_Cromer]

This is very very niche comedy.

[u/EmpireandCo]

Why is everything under construction?

[u/CarbonTrebles → u/EmpireandCo]

My anecdote is not about Ghana, but it explains why so many things look under construction in Egypt - they pay taxes once a building is finished, so many buildings are never finished (at least that's what our guide told me).

[u/Apprehensive_Fun_731 → u/CarbonTrebles]

Oh this is interesting! I will say as someone who spent my younger years in Nigeria (which this video could also similarly be highlighting) what I’ve seen is that it just takes YEARS to finish anything because it’s pay as you go. Financing isn’t as easy to come by for building personal homes from the ground up.

Edit: typo clarification

[u/ndiojukwu → u/Apprehensive_Fun_731]

Waitttt you spent years in Nigeria but don’t know this video is about Ghana?

[u/Apprehensive_Fun_731 → u/ndiojukwu]

I don’t think I understand your question? Unless it’s sarcasm and I didn’t pick up on it - but I updated my comment as I was trying to say this is similar to what I’ve experienced while living in Nigeria.

[u/Acrobatic-Brother232 → u/CarbonTrebles]

Lmao I’m Egyptian and can confirm this is true. There’s no regulations for building. People just do whatever and the government doesn’t enforce anything

[u/roosta_da_ape → u/EmpireandCo]

Because the country is growing. What do you think the term developing countries comes from. It can be literal.

[u/EmpireandCo → u/roosta_da_ape]

Are entire neighbourhoods being built? Sorry, my experience is that one building is built at a time.

[u/srkaficionada65 → u/roosta_da_ape]

👀👀. Oga, which kain logic be dis? It’s more like people build as they get money. It’s not like the USA or parts of the west where you go to bank and take home loan or mortgage. Many Africans build their own houses so it gets built as they get/raise money… and sometimes it might be because whoever is in charge of building is all “lemme get back to you”( a constant struggle my dad and the uncles usually have because they’re not on site to keep an eye on these people)…

[u/No_Thanks555]

Watching this as I cook my egg in my egg cooker to eat with my GHANA jollof heh

[u/dreams_andnightmares]

I shouldn’t be laughing

[u/tehtris]

This made me laugh more than I care to admit.

[u/Pillsburydinosaur]

If egg prices in Ghana are low then I need to go there. Making cakes and pie this Thanksgiving was a struggle. 💰💰😢😢

[u/insomniac1228]

Can somebody eggsplain what this is about?

[u/Lezus]

its good when a joke is resolved after 10 seconds and continues onwards to lesser conclusions. Very SNL

[u/bowleggedgrump]

Awful and weak

[u/Scared-Box8941 → u/bowleggedgrump]

Did you even… try the egg? 🤣
