Abele Walls

What we know so far

Abele walls is the milk ice of Ghanaian childhood, sold from coolers at school gates in small cups with a chewing stick for a handle or pressed between two slices of bread. The name is Accra Ga: Wall's, the British ice cream Unilever brought to Ghana, and abele, the Ga word people used for anything sweet and good. It is not churned: sweetened milk (evaporated or fresh, with condensed milk for richness), a pinch of salt, vanilla and sometimes a spoon of custard powder or cornflour cooked in to keep it smooth, poured into cups and frozen, stirred once or twice to break the ice. A chocolate version with cocoa and milk powder is Fafa's; some vendors made it from kenkey and milk.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
