Fufu

By Ikechukwu Adubasim.

Fufu (Pronounced as foo foo) is an African food made from cassava. It is a very common delicacy amongst residents of West Africans. It is eaten with any kind of African soup. Making fufu involves boiling, pounding and vigorous stirring. The good thing about fufu is that it can be prepared in just under 10 minutes. The soup however, takes time to prepare.

Fufu has also been known to hold the stomach from hunger for a very long time. Which explains why many African men with jobs that involves vigorous activities tend to eat it before leaving home for work in the morning.

Another fascinating thing about fufu is that it is eaten with bare hands. That means no spoons or forks are really needed. It is eaten by moulding small balls of the fufu with the finger, and then dipping into the soup accompaning it. There are numerous African restaurants that can give you this priceless experience.
