Clip: [How do] you eat in such a way that you are propagating good relations with deities (ep 1)

"In the late 19th Century The British government began a project whereby they started recording oral histories because they were assuming that once the Gold Coast was turned into a colony that it would begin to lose its culture.

It really hadn’t happened but in any case there’s lots of oral histories that come out of that and I discovered that eating good food doesn’t really have so much to do with taste, food is very tasty, but it’s more about ensuring that you’re following the prescribed rules for how to behave, how to eat in such a way that you’re propagating good relations with deities or with ancestors"
