Before trying fufu became a TikTok trend, my Nigerian friend took me to an authentic Nigerian restaurant to try fufu and various stews. Before we arrived, I was already in the mindset of being open to a new experience... from the way the staff would treat me, restaurant atmosphere, food wait time and the way this ancient, sacred food from another continent would taste. When the food finally arrived, I was overwhelmed with joy to be experiencing an array of new flavors. Then, when I later saw people on TikTok gagging when trying this food, it broke my heart. We need to teach our children and each other how to be more receptive of how different other cultures are. People need to understand what is “normal” in a community’s general taste preferences completely depends on our environment, so “normal” is completely subjective. In order to argue that something is objectively “normal,” the subject matter must concern health. If you try Nigerian food and think it’s “gross” or “weird,” consider keeping your limited opinions to yourself. It’s a bad look to comment on other cultures based off of your preference of taste.

I have never had it before but when I see African dishes that bread piece is always there and I ALWAYS want to try it! I don’t know the name of it so I just call it “that little bread thing” 😂

I worked with a Lady from Ghana when I was in the military. She said the EXACT same thing about egusi not being eaten/served with fufu in Ghana and that what we were seeing all over tik tok was Nigerian influence. ❤ I can’t WAIT to make this 😋

That looks so delicious and you have made it look easy too! I have been wanting to try egusi stew and fufu since forever. I’m going to make it this weekend. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Sister madam you nailed it. Never tried egusi stew with fufu. Looks absolutely delicious. There is an interesting technique used in taking a piece of the fufu before dipping it in the soup. Thanks my beautiful and eloquent master chef #NumberOneFan

I know right! It is an unusual combo that works 👌👌 the fufu must be firmer that usual though 😂😂🤣🙏❤️
