So I said it. Fufu is the most complete food in the world. Anyone who has ever tasted this Ashanti delicacy will vocally attest to this fact. It's a mixture of cassava (potato-like tuber) and plantain. Through hard work (pounding) and skillful driving those two unagreeable farm produce find common ground somewhere in between. Once it's flooded with enough soup as an accompaniment all the hard work is forgotten. The hardest part of enjoying fufu is trying to manage it with any set of cutlery (almost impossible). It's made with hands and the only way to best enjoy it is with bare hands as well. Anytime you visit Ghana just find a 'chop bar' anywhere and make your order. I know you will enjoy it!
