Accra has a few restaurants that are pretty good. Now, pretty good means "tastes okay and doesn't make me sick." By U.S. standards they are just "okay to go to when everything else is closed". Needless to say, we don't go out to eat very often, which brings me to one great reason why living in a developing country can be good.....you are forced to cook!
I have tried more recipes here than every other country we've lived in, put together. We are limited on resources so you have to really search for things or order off the internet in advance. For example, we learned that going to ShopRite early Saturday morning almost guarantees that you'll find sour cream. If you go any other time, they will probably be out. So I stock up on things and have to use them before they go bad, which forces me to cook. We have added a TON of recipes to our rotation now. Thank goodness for Pinterest!
We also have a cleaning lady who likes to cook, so I throw the harder, more time consuming recipes at her and she has yet to disappoint! Plus, she has to make everything Gluten-free and is successful! I have to say, this is one great bonus of living in a developing country!!
