that boy selling the snails could be a model! Ghanaians are so beautiful!
One thing about living in Ghana is freedom from pressure but how to generate money is a major problem.
Madina market is my local market when I'm in Ghana. The traders are so friendly. I miss Ghana 😭😭😭
"The farmers markets were another step to giving people an opportunity to take more power over their own lives-and also to provide another outlet for organic produce. That is important because the production and distribution of food is increasingly being monopolized and controlled by large corporate structures, large financial structures." Madina Market is lovely, full of food produced with sweat, sacrifice and... a lot of heart. Cheers, Domenico.
For those of you who don't know, this is what a tomato should look like. Nice bright red, in colour, taste amazing because it is properly mature. Of you don't know, now you do. Thank me later 😂☺️😂
Absolutely🍅🍅1️⃣‼️💱
I still remember the day that I got lost at Madina Market 😅
😂😂 Very possible!
It happened to me twice
@sourcestv ghana It was both my first and 2nd time going to Ghana. And for whatever reason both times my husband decided to walk off somewhere else on me. By the time i looked up he was no where to be found and i couldnt tell in which direction i came from. So i just kinda went with the direction/flow of people the first time and walked around probably a good idk 30 minutes in pure panic mode before my husband finally found me. Turns out he had been standing behind where i previously was, but inside so i couldnt see him. The 2nd time i was sure i knew where i was going. But i didnt. But i didnt want my hubby to laugh at me again so i went about trying to figure it out. But 5 minutes in i just called him and stood still. The first time i'd left my phone with him but this time i was not gonna do that. Second time wasnt so bad but that first time i was irrationally aggravated with him to the point where i didnt speak to him all evening and pitched my fit by myself. But i was terrified, no way to call him. And i didnt know his phone number outside of whatsapp at the time. Didnt know where i had come from or needed to go to so i couldnt even get any help. It was quite bad.
hw come .. mst hve gt carried awzy
The market prices are very reasonable compare to here in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦everything is fresh...💞 I could live there
Wow from luxury to market you're doing a great job keep pushing Ghana to the world 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Its actually from rubbish to luxury. She used to eat tin food in scotland now eating fresh food at most a week fresh from the farm
Oh no. I am waiting for the continuation. You know you can't take us to groceries shopping with you then leave us out of the best part right? The cooking and eating. Lol
Something about the local market warms my heart for real..the movement, the hustle, the energy, bargaining etc ..definitely nostalgic..waiting on Accra and Kaneshie markets too! then you know you have definitely arrived
Vanessa the way you ask questions is so funny I'm in tears 🤣🤣🤣 in particular the way you asked about the snails🤣🤣🤣
like an Oburoni ;-)
The berries are called turkey berries. Extremely nutritious. You could add it to smoothies or when you cook kontomire (any soup or stew , really)
Never knew u can make smoothie with turkey berries.
Learning every day.
$.86 for that huge Avocado?! It would be $6.00 in California! Great video!!
The energy is Ghanaian markets will blow you off ... Today, the vendors were nice & answered your questions, maybe cos you're yellow (as they say) ... Lol
It's always a hustle mood ... 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
At 02:10 those are Turkey Berries (Solanum torvum is the scientific name) Some in Europe call them pea eggplant.
I love exploring Ghanaian market. I just find it so fascinating with so much happening at once.
Thanks for bringing us along with you Vanessa and giving us a peak into the market💖 Brings back so many memories 🥰
Another amazing video
Thank you for showing us this market and giving pricing. This will come in very handy for the diaspora visiting/moving to Ghana 💞💞💞from the 🇺🇲.
Loving this💃💃You took me home today😍😍Thumbs Up🥳🥳🥳
Awh brought back so many happy memories
Vanessa! That was GULLY of you! YEAH!
Nice video. Blessings
Hi, Vanessa excellent video again. I really love this. Great job
I always enjoy your videos
This was my go-to market all the time when I was living in East Legon during 2011-2013.
I was just thinking wow this is so much calmer than Makola I need to go there, then you where like "wow so congested" lol. I love that you're sharing this side, I know how hard it is to record in a market 😅
Omg that’s so cool ! We have a Marina Market in Guinee , west Africa too 😊
Africa has abounded food. We are looking forward for more natural fresh food.
We wait for the food please
Pls be safe sis. Watch out...different kind of road use in Africa you already know.
Watching this makes me want to visit Ghana, nice video
You’re so blessed to have family there. I’m glad you went home. All blessings for your highest good rainbow SiStar🌈😘
Hello Vanessa. I’m a big fan of your channel and I look forward to watching new content from you all the time. I love the spirit with which you embrace Ghana in all beauty and happiness. It’s really admirable. Keep up your good work and God bless you. Much love Prince
Part 2 please. Let's see the food you cooked with these.
Good job God bless you
i love this. you look wonderful. keep it up! I am the one who said you should be yourself. Just keep doing these and see what happens.
I just discovered your channel from your pain free birth video!! I love love your content and you have such a beautiful smile!
Thank you for your content! Keeping me intouch with my spiritual home. Medina market reminds me of Wagashi..cheese. Who else loves it?!
When in Ghana do as Ghanaians do. Reminds me of when I introduced my Scottish wife to Lagos in 1990/91. She loved the markets and the lifestyle so much we stayed there for a year!
I really love how to respectfully film them. Shows respect that said, I wonder where the men tho!!
They need a better working environment. I hope politicians will invest in the real people.
Very nice video Vanessa! 8:36 - What recipe did you make with your ingredients?
Nice one
Wow! I miss madina market so much, thus where I do my shopping when in Accra because I live at new legon,
Hahaha! I remember on, I believe your previous offering, you saying, you had to run errands, one being drivers license, I remember laughing a little thinking, I pray She fairs well, congratulations you made through to complete your shopping and get injured! Great Share!!!! I miss open markets so much!!!!!! The color code is still Global, Human Nature.
love your scottland accent Vanessa :)
. . . I really like you do everything with a smile. 💜
Hey first today 😊
Love it...
That's one exciting market visit experience. It was great of you sharing this visit with us. Kindly put the total of your spending at the end of the shopping 🛍. I believe things are cheaper than in Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 .
Thanks for sharing Vanessa 👍.
A lot of countries have snails as a delicacy.
Kontonmre is like spinnach Vanessa
Bravo! Great that you are venturing into local markets for some down-to-earth 'education' about living in Ghana. It will greatly help your move and stay in Ghana (some of your UA-camr friends are 'experts' at local markets). The trips are worth it in more ways than one. Relative to Cool, Clean, Convenient, and Crushingly Costly 'Super markets', local markets have lots of real produce & stuff (many in raw form) at significantly lower prices, and offer real interactions with 'real' people. Local markets are very important means to help most people survive and thrive in Ghana. NOTE: Many wealthy Ghanaians and Africans go or send to local markets to stock up on groceries and supplies (you will see their big / expensive cars parked at many local markets -- engines and AC running -- while they or their family / staff shop).
Do practice and master the skill of bargaining. Traders expect you to, so they price things accordingly. It's also a great interactive game that can involve humor and play. It helps you to know the traders and market better. Prices also depend on the season and source of your produce (regrettably, we import growing quantities of too many basic staples that could be produced, stored, and distributed locally in far better ways).
Most people with the means shop to stock-up for a week or more depending on the produce or items they buy, and their ability / facility to store them well. You get far better pricing with bulk purchase! Besides, it is difficult to make the trip to the local market for every meal, even if you live right next to it. Quite the sensory overload for some, our local markets are. Sorry, I got carried away. :)
It's like back home I would to change it if I could
I see this market has a lot to offer. Very good prices.
You better show us what you cooked lol 😂 you can’t leave us in limbo like that ❤️😆
Beautiful ❤️ tomatoes this is what am looking for
Yeah, at the start of the video, the snail moving made me jump back. Lol.
It’s looks like Jamaica 🇯🇲 I want to visit one day, am enjoying your content.
I thought you was going to show the recipe, how it’s all put together and the finished meal. Do you get called yellow girl a lot ? Or was that the first time someone refer to the color of your skin ? Thanks for the videos. Been enjoying watching you, go out and explore, trying new and different foods. 🙂
First here..😘
That guy selling the snails was so shy, Vanessa's beauty had him crumbling 😂
I think it’s a language barrier coupled with the camera on him, A lot of Africans especially in more rural locations are typically like that. It’s unfamiliar
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did you make a video of what you cooked?
Better to let a local accompany you. Then you'll get to know the actual prices and learn how to bargain. Much more fun!
I was with a Ghanaian
From The likes of Sainsbury’s or Aldi to Madina Market that’s a big contrast 😀😀. You’ll be fine as time goes on✅
In your future video(s) of shopping at markets, could you bring your own reusable cloth bags to put produce and other articles in, instead of the plast bags that are used everywhere ? It would be interesting to see how the sellers and other people react. Also, it would have been nice to have given us the total price of everything you bought when you summed things up at the end of the video. I realize that might be difficult, given the absence of receipts (all the better! less wasted paper!), but maybe with all your footage you could do the inventory of what you paid for everything and give the sum ? :)
Hope you go to Ashaiman market one day .
My favourite food yam 😊
Vanessa, have you been to Mokola Market yet? I remember adults talking about it when I was a child in Accra but I never got a chance to go there before we moved to the UK.
Vanessa will be nice if you show us your cooking skills..
How I miss Ghana market
Mrs Kannbi,
I want to see you cooking the yams etc lol
I really miss home today
Prices are reasonable in Ghana, can’t wait until I come home!❤️🙏🏽🇬🇭🇬🇭✊🏽✊🏽😍
Yellow sister😂😂😂😂😂❤️❤️
Vanessa handled that lady’s comment with good nature and grace.
Kanbi! What's up?
I'd be interested purchasing that Cassava flour.
I like your accent! But you also look good
Vanessa if you need more pots my father manufactures them. Just let me know.
Avocado seem a little pricey, but whatever. Do you thang and show us how you cook sis. You are doing great
No we take it out from the shell before we cooked them.
Look at all the fresh foodstuff ugh
OH ITS BEEN FUN😅
I was in Ghana in the 1990s and it was dirt cheap. It has gotten very is expensive and the prices are shocking to a New Yorker.
@Vanessa Kanbi Hi Vanessa, just out of curiosity, do you ask these people before you film them? Especially those you dont buy anything from where you just ask information. Just curious as some of them look a bit uncomfortable & I know some people might not be able to voice it.
Snails for 10cedis..i must say the prices are reasonable plus look at all this fresh foods
Please pointing material is best preferred by the seller when you use your right hand.
Vanessa what's the total price of your shopping?
Thanks for sharing. I've been thinking about chicken farming and seeing the selling price of the eggs has helped confirm my calculations.
its ironic that most of those tomatoes all come from navrongo or accross the border, burkina. the red onions are a lot of zebilla....
a couple years ago where a lot of suicides by tomatoe farmers up here, not because the harvest wasnt good, rather the opposite, but no buyers. and the banks wanted their loans back......
Vanessa 😀 Thats house is nice when renting how many months deposit do you have to pay. Indavance. Its so private. What part of Accra is it base.
Prices seem high. I suspect that it’s because you’re an obroni. I got those special prices as well because I’m also mixed race. It would’ve been interesting to see what your local friend would’ve been charged. Great video. BTW, not sure if it’s still a thing still, but don’t point with your left hand. Many people find that offensive. I learnt that the hard way when I first lived in Ghana.
I love that it’s mostly women. See, now I wanna go to Ghana. And nothing wrong with being called yellow. Lol, I’m mixed too and look like you I get that too 😂. I’m just glad these ladies are getting their money! I love that’s it’s mostly Black women owned for real. It sounds heavenly.
First
I think the price for tomatoes was high for ghana, they are offering first price, after negotiation the real price is half that or even less, they are charging you more because you are speaking to them in English
Turkey berries those are not peas. Cook them grind it with your tomatoes and add it to your soups or sauce. It's an acquired taste can be a bit bitter
Seems like everything was more expensive than what I've usually seen in market-vids, but I don't know if it's because Madina is generally more expensive, or if Vanessa doesn't care to haggle,,, maybe both 😛
👌👌👌
Madina Madina Madina La Paz La Paz La Paz Adenta Adenta Adenta... Shouts of the bus conductor..
Love the way your keeping it REAL. ✊ with your reaction to the yellow sister obroni comments. They don’t mean any harm. They just trying to get your attention to buy their goods.
They assumed most mixed race or foreign people have money .
Most people misunderstand the origin and meaning on the word Obroni.
It’s actually does not mean white person. It’s means foreigner.
The etymology of the word comes abrokyere
Abro = horizon, ekyere = behind or beyond. So literally beyond the horizon.
When the first European ship made contact with the coastal Akans, the Europeans were described as Abrokyere fuo. Meaning the people from beyond the horizon.
Technologically the word for a white foreigner would be Obroni fitaa (fitaa=white). The word for a black or brown foreigner would be Obroni tuntum (tuntum=dark).
Isn't kotomire spinach?
No its the leaf of the cocoyam
Its harder than spinach
@@amorkor4 Ok, Thanks. My dad would would make kotomire stew with egusi and spinach. so I was confused.
It is in the same family as spinach so we often call it spinach but technically it is cocoyam leaf
And they both taste as good as each other in Kontomire stew
Ness just be little careful about social distancing it's very important.
