Thanks for the info, Nayah. The first dish looks good. I love plantains.
The second dish would look more appetising without the onions. I hate onions. sad
Post more pics of your countries dishes, Nayah!

From what I gather in this thread, it is as I previously thought. West African food is all very much the same except for with different ethnic names.

Tuwo Shinkafa (form of mashed rice eba (Fufu) to Westerners that's the best description I can give)

[img]http://1.bp..com/-ihT--6OsHQk/TxISnUcdvJI/AAAAAAAAHvA/lgheXxogrIU/s1600/001.jpg[/img]

Tuwo Masaara: Same thing as Tuwo Shinkafa but uses plantains instead of rice.

Tuwon masara is just maize flour and I think plantain tuwo will be tuwon ayaba (wink*). Lol!
