Known as fish rolls in Nigeria and Cameroon but spring rolls in Ghana, they are usually rolled up but in other countries, they are made in the shape of meat pie. Almost everyone loves these crunchy snacks and your wedding guests will love them too.

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.

Puff Puff

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.
