Meat pie

Whether as breakfast, brunch or as a snack, people just love their meat pie. In Africa, meat pies are a bit light and flaky but what people enjoy most are the fillings, which can be either carrots, potatoes or minced beef.

It’s a very popular West African street food because it’s quick and easy to make though this traditional snack varies throughout the region. Called Puff-puff in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and in anglophone Cameroon but bo-frot in Ghana, the snack is made from yeast dough, shaped into a ball and deep-fried until golden brown. And it’s delicious.
