It's called Egusi soup. it can contain an entire variety of meats and fishes. Ngl it's so great to see you try this. My Nigerian self is giggling with excitement. keep up the good work Gully.

Yams are called pounded yam in Nigeria which is what you ate.. Processed Cassava is called fufu has more of a scent And the soup is called Egusi Love from Nigeria ❤

[@djoy1972]

It's not actually made with the flour, but they boil the root vegetables, like yams, cassava etc and after it's boiled it is pounded to get that consistency.

[@brianbadonde9251]

Yes but you can just buy the flour and make it that way

[@bibsbeezASMR]

So get actual yam or cassava boil then just pound on it?

[@djoy1972]

@@bibsbeezASMR I've seen it done like that or even put into the food processor to get the consistency. If you do a search online or even here on youtube I'm sure you will find many recipes/methods/videos ..enjoy. If you live close to any african restaurants, you can easily buy it there. Some refer to it as swallow, because basically after dipping into the stew or soup you just swallow it. I personally never made it, but in the state I live there are many people from various african countries as well as restaurants. Years ago I had some fellow coworkers that i was able to see them preparing it.

Another amazing video once again! I sometimes have fufu due to coming from an African family, and it's mice to see your thoughts on it! While we're on the topic of food, could you make Yoylecake Kulfi next? It's a fictional dessert from a web series titled "BFDI."

I recommend eating this Soup (egusi) with pounded yam which is another kind of side we have with all the soups (in Nigeria we refer the fufu etc as swallow !) hope this helped 🇳🇬 😊

[@golden22h8]

The way you compared the concept of Roti to fufu made my heart smile so big. Yes exactly! In Africa we have many things we call 'Swallows' Swallows are a starch we use to eat with our soups or stews or sauces, just as someone from Pakistan might use Roti as a starch to go with stews or curry. There are many different Swallows. Fufu is just one of the many. And you don't eat fufu by itself because it honestly doesn't rlly taste like anything. It's just something you use to eat with the sauce!!!! you explained it perfectly 💗💗💗💗. ive seen many ppl trying African food and just eating the entire fufu and then eating the sauce and it makes me cringe so hard haha. you just take a tiny piece of fufu and scoop a whole bunch of sauce instead.

[@piratekinglordhokage4981]

Your first pronunciation of fufu was correct. If its made out of cassava flour then it is fufu if its made from yam flour then it is pounded yam or in west africa (Yoruba) it is called iyan. And what you're eating it with is called Egusi, made from melon seeds and pumpkin leaves.

Nice to see you trying out new cuisines Gully! In Zambia (Southern Africa) our version of fufu is called nshima and it’s made from white cornmeal and water, it’s got a less sticky texture than West African fufu but basically the same concept!

[@ibrahimkhalid1257]

Excellent video

[@nebulagaming4340]

Love your content! Keep it up 😊

[@verballyrebellious]

The starch is called poundo. It's an easy to make version of pounded yam, which is made by mercilessly pounding boiled yam with pestle and mortar, and it's much nicer and more fluffy and fibrousy than chewy. The stew is called egusi and is cooked many different ways. My favourite version is a bit more dry and chewy than this, and tastes peanuty. Awesome vid.

[@nonsoamulu4654]

That soup he had in the video is called Egusi. In Nigeria, we call these kinds of foods swallow. That's because they aren't meant to be chewed. You're meant to swallow it right after putting in in your mouth. Some people here still chew theirs though, but fufu tastes bland so chewing it doesn't make sense. You use your tongue to separate some of the rough vegetables from the fufu while it's in your mouth and then swallow the rest instantly along with the fufu.

Its not fufu if made with Yam flour.....its called 'poundo yam'. If the yams were cooked and then physically pounded then its called 'pounded yam'. If its made from fermented casava then u can call it 'Fufu'. You can also make the casava flour version like with the yam. The soup is called 'egusi' and its made from Melon seeds, and cooked with a certain leaf and palm oil. Any meat can be used. Love your Channel by the way. You got awesome content 🎉

It's SOO good you should give it a go. And also, new content for u as not many content creators talk about zambian/southern african cuisine. Cheers :D

Im not Indian nor Nigerian so I have no bias in these comparisons. I tried roti, butter chicken and some tamarind spicy dip to dip the roti in a famous restaurant near me and it all tasted really good(It blended together but roti is kinda bland and the dip carried, a dinner bun would be better), but fufu and the soup that came with it was just miles better(really absorbed, and I could taste the yam and it really blew my mind). When you have no bias its kinda obvious, I would bet a buck you haven't tried fufu. 😂

WHAT EXACTLY IS FUFU? Fufu is made from cassava, which is also known as yuca. It is a starchy root vegetable, similar to sweet potatoes, russet potatoes, and yams. It can be fried, baked, and prepared just like potatoes; however, it becomes very smooth, doughy, and elastic when made into fufu
