'Black hot sauce is a cultural necessity and you can taste our culture when that thing hits your tongue." -Hajia, Labadi- Ghana

Last year's December, we visited home, Ghana and we couldn't resist talking to some incredible food vendors who inculcate the black hot sauce in their food. It was an interesting experience as we had the august opportunity to have them tell us the benefits of black hot sauce and why everyone needs to include it in their diet.

This woman here, has been selling waakye for over a decade an she is well know in Labadi and its environs. Before moving to the USA, she was my Waakye "plug" and I felt my visit to Ghana wouldn't have been complete if I hadn't visited her store to eat waakye. The food still tasted the same and the Shito (black hot sauce) still gave me the "chills"- Rama
