Fran mitatitra momba ny sakafo fihinana any Ghana antsoina hoe “Waakye” [1] :
Last night I cooked up some waakye (pronounced “WAAchi where the “i” sounds like the “i” in “in” and made from rice and beans or black-eyed peas), fried some ripe plantain slices, made a little gravy (oil, onion, tomatoes, hot peppers, salt and tomato paste), and stir-fried some cabbage and carrots for dinner.
“Omaly alina hoan'ny sakafo hariva dia nahandro waakye aho (tononina hoe “OAAshi” izay ifangaroan'ny vary sy tsaramaso mena), nanendy akondrobe notapahina manifinify [banane plantain], nanamboatra saosy voatabia (tongolo oinon, voatabia, sakay, sira ary voatabia am-bifotsy) ary nanendy koa laisoa sy karaoty.”
