Last week shortly after I arrived I had omo tuo and palmnut/groundnut soup at Agbamami restaurant in Tema (Tema's version of Asanka Local) with Kajsa Adu (an active member of ghanablogging.com) and her family. I admired her Obama bag. Signs of the Obama family's popularity abound: DK served Obama biscuits [cookies] to some students last week, and yesterday I saw some Michelle Obama cloth at a seamstress' shop.
Kajsa remarked at lunch that they refer to the ubiquitous toothpicks on the tables, commonly used at the end of the meal, as "Ghana's dessert." Very apt.

I remember the Obama biskits! There was also Obama laundry soap when I was in Niger.
Thanks for a lovely lunch!Will in a near future post the pics I have from the "Obama" admiration. And on the Ghana's dessert - if it's on Betumi Blog it is now official!
We were in Southern Ethiopia in Feb. and were at a market to buy some food, sure enough, there for sale was a plastic Obama bag. So glad I captured it on my camera.
