Food joints, particularly those that sell �Fufu,� are rapidly springing up along the main Kumasi-Tamale Highway, 'Business Guide' has gathered. The �Fufu� joints could be seen in virtually all the towns along the busy highway which connects Kumasi to the Northern regional capital. Checks conducted last Friday showed that �Fufu� was rapidly becoming the favourite food of many people in the country, notably the travelers. Until recently, �Fufu� was considered to be the favourite food of people living in the Ashanti region and other Akan-dominated areas. But the paper observed that people in the northern parts of the country had accepted �Fufu� with soup. Almost all the �Fufu� joints were filled with people that had formed long queues to buy the food. Akwasi Kwarteng, who was travelling from Kumasi to Tamale said �I always enjoy my trips on the highway because of the numerous �Fufu� joints. I always find it easy to get delicious �Fufu� with soup to eat whenever I travel to Tamale. According to Kwarteng, some few years ago, chop bars were hard to come by along the Kumasi-Tamale Highway. Kwarteng expressed happiness about the establishment of many �Fufu� joints along the Kumasi-Tamale Highway.
