FuFu For You!


Blaine, upon returning from the African market in Salt Lake, made the family FuFu. It was way fun! Fufu is made from cassavas, plantains, and some different types of veggies. He bought the powdered instant version and was a little disappointed that it didn't taste like the real thing, but it was fun for all of us to try it. In Africa, the pound the ingredients up until they turn to mush, then serve it with a soup. Blaine said it takes about 3-4 hours to prepare, then they have to make the soup. Definitely not Fast Food. He also said that they don't chew the glob that they break off and dip in the soup. Then they eat the bones from the chicken. I thought it wasn't that bad, and even Paige and Rylee ate some of it!!

Dad, being the practical man he is, had a little bit of fufu, then broke out the bread and butter. :)













This would be the fufu. The blob in the middle is the actual fufu and it is in some kind of soup.
