Uhm let me try to respond to some of the comments. I'm sensing a little hate too huh

I'm a BLACK female from TEXAS, never had fufu before so I thought why not share my first experience.

No, I'm not a naija female in disguise, What would be the point of that lol?

Uhm there seems to be alot of grumbling at my topic making frontpage, I have no idea what that really means but why yall hating on it anyway?? I just posted an experience of mind on a NIGERIAN board, so I thought yall might be a lil interested.

Thx to everyone who made other suggestions of some other Nigerian foods for me to try out, I'll see if I can try them sometime.

@4llerbuntu TYYYYYY for your post, you had me laughing while reading it, and were very kind in it

@Markenny ty for explaining pamdi to me. Maybe that is what I had because it was white and sort of clumped together in balls and whatnot. And the smell was nice, so maybe it was modified, either way I like it.

DAYOKANU, thank you for defending me friend. I was a little surprised at some of the comments. I write just a little post about my first time with 'fufu' modified or not, and get some of these responses? wtf? I mean damn people have to throw shade on something like this tsk tsk. SMDH

anyway, thank you to everyone else for the congratulations, what's IYELEKUTA btw?

For those saying fufu smells, you must have been eating the wrong kinda fufu, the ones i eat do not have any smell and is as white as snow.

Re: I Ate Fufu For The First Time! by gangstaboo(op): 9:18am On Apr 20, 2010

Sorry for taking up so many comments to reply but am just now reading what everyone commented.

One person asked something to the effect, "what is this supposed to teach us", well I don't know the answer to that but it could be the fact that a non-Nigerian is interested in learning more about Nigerian Foods and cultures, that's why I joined in the first place. In my mind, it would make me happy if a person who is not familiar with my culture is making an effort to be more educated about it. Maybe that's why they front-paged it, just my opinion of course. I asked a friend today why alot of Nigerians, and more broadly Africans, look down African Americans. He replied that in his opinion, one major reason that alot Of Nigerians look unfavorably to African Americans is because we are often ignorant and very uninformed about you all's culture and customs. And do not make an effoet to try to learn about it. Therefore wouldn't it please you all that someone is making that effort? I thought this board would be a great place to start to inform myself about Nigeria. That is all.

(Btw I know i talk alot, but that's just me haha wink

I'm out though, take care everyone)

I bet you're not talking about the fufu I know. . lipsrsealed

I remember back when I was in primary school. .mum returned one evening with three brand new school bags for me and me brothers. .and also with some good ol' fufu. .which unfortunately, was packed in one of my lil' bro's new bag. . grin

. He never could get the smell off even after using the bag for quite a while. . cheesy

Yes, not those smelling fufu you buy from the calabar sellers called (Akpu), i mean the white looking ones with no foul odor, they look fresher, not too thick and very nice when eating them.

Re: I Ate Fufu For The First Time! by Elgaxton(m): 11:25am On Apr 21, 2010

Pamdi pronounced poundy, is pounded Yam that looks like fufu but with the taste of yam in it

Re: I Ate Fufu For The First Time! by sley4life(m): 1:49pm On Apr 21, 2010

Re: I Ate Fufu For The First Time! by Hauwa1: 2:55pm On Apr 21, 2010

wth, everything is fufu huh

eba is fufu, ghana cocoyam is fufu, plantain is fufu, starch is fufu . . . by goodness!!

fufu is akpu, the one you soak cassava for some days, wash and press out water and then cook in pot by moulding then pound. . . or pour into pot and stir till it is done.

Re: I Ate Fufu For The First Time! by Hauwa1: 2:59pm On Apr 21, 2010

fufu smells if it stays in water for more than 3days. my grandma keeps hers for 3day and that is ezigbo akpu wink

Re: I Ate Fufu For The First Time! by Nobody: 7:39pm On Apr 21, 2010

@ OP
nothing do you. pls ignore those who have nothing constructive to add.

try amala + gbegiri+ewedu+smoked fish+ogufe grin

Re: I Ate Fufu For The First Time! by gangstaboo(op): 9:49pm On Apr 21, 2010

I was told it was fufu so that's what I called it, who am I to tell them it's not? How is someone who has never been exposed to it, has never seen it, has never tasted it supposed to know the intricacies of it or whether it's 'real' fufu,

And if *some* of you all didnt wanna read about me eating fufu, then why the fucck' did you click on the damnnn thread? Real talk, df outta hea

Re: I Ate Fufu For The First Time! by Nobody: 2:53pm On Apr 25, 2010

gangstaboo, well done for your open-mindedness. You're a great ambassador for African-Americans. cool

And yes you're right. Nigerian cuisine is delicious. wink

Re: I Ate Fufu For The First Time! by gangstaboo(op): 7:38pm On Apr 25, 2010

Thank you for the kind words Rossike. :-)

And it sure is!

You want to make her a cannibal, why should she try out a peep of Ondo state?

Anyway, there is no people called "PÚPURÚ" in Ondo state. Púpurú is a cassava product like fùfú too. However, púpurú is not as white. And the best stew to go along will be "obè-orúgbò". A black stew made with pureed bitter leaves.
We ÌLÀJE do not have just the púpurú, we can also boast of "ìméèkì", "garri ati eja", "ìgbágbá", "fèshé-lùú", "ìpékeré" etc.

Yoruba words should be written in Yoruba orthography. And Yoruba writing does not recognize "kp".

Re: I Ate Fufu For The First Time! by gangstaboo(op): 2:46am On Apr 27, 2010

a cannibal?

Re: I Ate Fufu For The First Time! by InesQor(m): 4:04am On Apr 27, 2010

@okooyinbo: LOL you have misunderstood the post.

What the person meant was

Congrats! Try more Nigerian delicacies. . . . .there is one Nigerian delicacy that peeps of Ondo State call kpukpuru. Try it and comeback and thank me, lol

All clear? cheesy

gangstaboo needs to try out Apu. Sits like a rock in your tummy and makes you strong physically. Your American athletes don't need dope they need Apu. Three plates of Apu a week will see them reducing the 100m World record to something like 9.40 seconds.

Re: I Ate Fufu For The First Time! by stede(m): 10:41pm On Apr 27, 2010*

gangstaboo:
lol what is apu? I would like to try it
