Kyinkyinga

What we know so far

Kyinkyinga (chinchinga, or just "khebab") is Ghana's street kebab: thin strips of beef or goat, threaded on sticks with onion, brushed with seasoned oil and dusted with the peanut-and-chilli suya spice, then char-grilled over coals by the roadside, at the beach and outside every drinking spot after dark. It is the Ghanaian branch of the Hausa suya family, and Ghanaians will tell you the difference is in the cut (thin slices ribboned onto the stick, not cubes), the plain onion between the meat, and the spice rubbed on in a paste with oil rather than a dry dust. Eaten with a cold beer, or with jollof and salad.

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.
