And it was delicious!! I'm a black female dating an Igbo man and I had never had fufu before or even seen it before. We went to his friend's house and his friend cooked some for us. I was expecting something different though. When he brought out the plate with this white sticky stuff and the meat at first I was like wtf!! haha but I tried it and loved it. We ate it with our hands, no forks or anything. They kept laughing at me because the meat was so toughh that it took me at least 5 mins to eat one piece and it kept dripping on me loll. But damn even though that meat was so hard to chew, the seasoning was awesome!! The actual fufu reminds me of grits but ten times better. I am now a fufu addict and just wanted to share my first encounter with it haha. I am slowly trying to learn Nigerian culture, I find it fascinating to say the least. For all I know, my ancestors could have come from Nigeria when they were forced to America as slaves.

I posted this in the food section but I think it would be better in this section.

Nice one!

MsTom:

Ever heard of one man called becomrich(now becomricher)?

Oh ok!

9ice one try n eat eba n amala too.

Nice one!

@poster:  Had me breaking all over in smiles.

Actually i think Markenny's right; what you took mostly likely is a modified product - lotsa them in the market now. But IMO they all qualify as fufu - taste as nice, has less starch content, and is prepared in far less time than the real deal.

The real, good old fufu has a strong smell and you'd need a good after-meal hand-cleanser to shake it off; preparing it is another serious wahala - heard someone say 40mins, thats a joke. Honey-buns, u'd need like 2-hours-plus of grueling hard work to pound some home-made cassava. Oh yeah, i said POUND, with a mortar and pestle. . . . come see sweat!!

But hey, i didn't mean to spoil anyone's fufu-appeal - gangastaboo, please enjoy your fufu dearie! Hope u enjoy some more local delicacies.

wetin concern us whether u chop fufu or not, if u like, chop shit, na u sabi

hmmn, margarita

@ gangstaboo, hey big ups girlfriend!!!!

dont mind all these bloody nigerians, they dont know what they want. in one breath they complain that foriegners dont like or understand them enough, in the very next breath they whine when a foriegner like you tries to integrate with them. silly.

The babes are probably pissed you dating a black nigerian guy (how thats ur problem i dunno, ignore them!!)

never mind if its real fufu or some mod, suffice to say girl, welcome to some REAL GOOD FOOD!!!

now u need to go the whole nine yards, there absolutely DELICIOUS NIGERIAN MEALS BABE, have ur fill.

word of caution though, go easy man, we talkin lotsa carbs, so u dont end up like one of them nigerian babes with arms and thighs like giant pork chops!!

Na en be withing
