The African ancestors took Africa with them across the Atlantic irrespective of been captives in captivity due to enslavery. And on the subject of Akara or Acaraje, a worthy note should be given to the enslaved Yoruba who took their Akara cuisine/diet with them to Brazil and other places in the Americas. Acaraje was derived from the Yoruba word Akara. Je literally means "eat" in Yoruba. Mo ti je ounje (I have eaten my meal). Akara taa je - Acaraje - (We eat Akara). Anago James Akeem Osho
