Fufu, also spelled foofoo, foufou, or fu fu, is a staple food of West and Central Africa. It is a thick paste or porridge usually made by boiling starchy root vegetables in water and pounding with a large mortar and pestle until the desired consistency is reached. 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.

Thank you for this! Are any of the root vegetables ones that we are familiar with or is everything new and different?
Now you have a new recipe to make for us when you come through Italy. Just let me know what ingredients I need to find!!
