But you eat from one side of the dish only. It is not polite to get food from the other side of the dish. After dinner, you wash your hands again in a bowl of water.Most meals in Ghana have a dish called fufu. People in Ghana make fufu from the powder of some plants.

Friends shake hands. Women，men and even children can shake hands.Shaking hands also seems simple，but there are some important things to remember. When you shake hands，you must look into the other person's eyes the whole time you're shaking hands.Shake hands strongly. If you give a weak handshake，the other person might think that you're not kind. He / She might also feel that you don't like him / her or you don't want to touch him / her. Shake hands with men and women the same way. If you shake hands with a very old person or a small child，be careful not to hurt them.Some people don't know how long to keep shaking. The most common handshake should have three shakes and then you should let go. Don't worry if Americans shake hands a little longer.Your handshake is like your smile. It's special to you. You need to find a comfortable strong handshake that shows what you are like. Because the handshake allows people to touch，the hand should be warm，clean and dry.Warm：Put your hands into your pockets before you shake hands. This will warm them.Clean：If you know you're going to meet someone，wash your hands so they'll be clean.Dry：Everyone gets nervous and your hands may get wet.
