Ingredient appreciation — what makes Fufu special

What sets Fufu apart is the handling of fermented dawadawa. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the hearty and earthy result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

fufu and soup eating requires communal sharing and is eaten with the hands. The a family Sunday fufu meal atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had sobolo sorrel drink as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Fufu is the place to start.
