"Southern food owes much of its roots to West African cuisine, and peanut butter soup is a must-try West African comfort food. Ghanaian restaurant Appioo, in Shaw, makes a stellar version that comes with a choice of croaker fish, chicken, oxtail, or goat meat. Choice of sides include fufu, banku, kenkey, rice balls, or white rice. Egusi and jollof rice are other good options." - Lisa Ruland
