Bushmeat on the side of the road

On the way back to Accra today (minus the rest of the group), our driver Alex and guide Ernest did some roadside shopping. First stop: 'bushmeat,' in this case the 'grass cutters' that I have mentioned before. The preferred choice was the roasted/smoked ones rather than the fresh ones. There was, as usual, quite a discussion over the price with 50 cedis finally settled upon. The two split one and it was cut into pieces and put into two of the ubiquitous black plastic bags. It will be made into a soup with onions, tomatoes, eggplant, salt and pepper and eaten with fufu.
