Do you think fufu is disgusting? (I do!)?!


Question: My wife is Ghanian and her Mother invited us over for dinner the other night. She made a delicious, reddish soup that tasted like beef stew and my wife was like, "Give Ras so fufu Ma", so she brings out a huge bowl of this white, moist, very doughy stuff.

It had the texture of chewed up bread dough and tasted like raw potatos. I ate three spoonfuls of it and then I had to push it away.

U r not supposed to chew fufu, u swallow it. U rub the stew or soup on it and swallow. I love it and I'm Nigerian!!!!!!!!

i've never eaten it, but apparently according to tradition, your not supposed to chew it, it acts as a vessel for sauces

In Western and Central Africa, the more common method is to serve a mound of fufu along with a sauce made from okra, fish, tomato, etc. The diner pinches off a small ball of fufu and makes an indentation with the thumb. This reservoir is then filled with sauce, and the ball is eaten. In Ghana and Nigeria, the ball is often not chewed but swallowed whole. In fact, among the older generation, chewing fufu is a faux-pas.

Fufu isn't something you would eat plain by spoonfuls. It is meantas a "vessel" for other foods.

you put fufu instead of tofu... i think "fufu" is disgusting to.
