Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari has sparked reactions online after finally trying the soaked gari and fish combination in Nigeria, following an earlier conversation about the popular meal.
So Nadia Buari has finally tried gari and fish!Â
But wait there is a little backstory.Before the actress picked up that spoon and tasted the popular combination, gari and fish had already become a topic of conversation around her. Nadia, who has spent a significant amount of time in Nigeria while building her acting career there, found herself caught up in the playful food debate surrounding the popular Nigerian way of enjoying gari. After all the talk, she eventually decided to taste it for herself.
That moment has now made its way onto social media, and Ghanaians are having a field day with it.
It Started With a Food Debate
Gari is obviously nothing new to Ghanaians. We know the food in many different ways with sugar and milk with peanuts, stew, soup and of course, pepper and fish. But when the Nigerian version of soaked gari and fish entered the conversation, Nadia’s reaction became part of the fun. Instead of simply debating the food online, the actress eventually got the chance to experience it herself and social media was ready to see what she would say.
Then Nadia Took the First Bite
In the viral video, Nadia is seen sitting down with the soaked gari and fish before giving the combination a try. The moment quickly attracted reactions from viewers, particularly Ghanaians who couldn’t resist commenting on their fellow Ghanaian trying the popular Nigerian combination. For some, the reaction was less about whether Nadia liked the food and more about the playful Ghana-Nigeria food rivalry that followed.
Ghanaians Want Her Back Home
The comments quickly turned into jokes, with some Ghanaians playfully calling on Nadia to come back home and experience gari properly. Others simply enjoyed seeing the actress embrace a food that is already deeply familiar to Ghanaians. And honestly, this is exactly how social media works. A simple plate of gari and fish can somehow become a full-blown Ghana-Nigeria conversation.
Nadia Buari’s gari-and-fish moment may have started as a simple food experience, but it has quickly become another entertaining moment for social media.
Now that she has finally tasted it, there is only one question left:
Nadia, be honest did the gari and fish pass the test?
