Accra: Veteran Ghanaian actress, Nadia Buari, has sparked a lively discussion on social media following her surprised reaction to the popular Nigerian dish of gari soakings paired with fish.
According to Ghana Web, the actress, who is currently working in Nigeria, expressed disbelief in a viral video upon discovering that some Nigerians enjoy soaking gari with fish. Her astonishment, vividly captured in her facial expressions and comments, quickly resonated with fans, igniting a wave of reactions from social media users across both Ghana and Nigeria.
While many Nigerians were quick to defend the dish, describing it as a delicious and common culinary combination, Ghanaians echoed Nadia's surprise. Many admitted they had never encountered or tried the dish before and expressed reluctance to do so.
In Ghana, gari soakings typically consist of gari mixed with cold water, sweetened with sugar, and sometimes enhanced with milk, groundnuts, or other ingredients based on individual taste. However, for some Nigerians, adding fish offers a unique twist to this popular dish.
The video of Nadia Buari's reaction continues to circulate online, inviting further engagement and cultural exchange between the two West African nations.
