  • this not fufu it's eba fufu is made of cassava and plantain or cocoyam pounded not gari dried grated cassava.

  • Is Nice to eat fufu, but pls. fufu is not eating with a ring on your fingers, the one we are seeing now is Gari fufu, you have to chew it a bit. & can be eating with stew.

    The real fufu is always or most time eating with soup. that you don´

    t have to chew but swallow it whole, so it´s good to take them smaller.

  • I'm about to eat fur in a few minutes lol it's so goo d when it's fresh! =^_^=

  • i seriously dont see whats so hard about eating fufu, i am asian but i dont someone to tell me to pull of a little piece 'size of a quarter'.

  • yumm

  • 0:11 that looks more like Gari than Fufu.

  • It is like watching gorillas eat

  • @ubuntungbelele That was a rude unnecessary comment...Fuck You!!

  • @picesangel

    Ubuntu apologizes for the comment. Ubuntu knows gorillas have better table manners than Africans. Ubuntu apologizes to any gorillas that might have been offended.UBUNTU

  • @ubuntungbelele Rude. Learn Your Damn Matters!!! Have you been to Africa? I bet no. So don't base your shit of from what you see on TV. Keep your ignorant opinion too YOURSELF. Ain't got nothing to say? DON'T SAY IT AT ALL!. (Just to prevent your ass from getting an ass whooping.)

  • @NaomiPookieBear1

    Ubuntu IS from Africa! Ubuntu grew up in an uncontacted village in Zimbabwe. Have *you* ever been to Africa? Ubuntu thinks not. Otherwise you would know Ubuntu speaks the truth. Just recently, 23 of Ubuntu's tribesmen were eaten by lions, the village was burned to the ground by the Popular N'kuku Front, Ubuntu's children were chopped to bits by machetes and Ubuntu found out he had AIDS. It was a good week. Hope you come to Africa soon. Your friend, UBUNTU

  • THEY HAVE FOOD IN AFRICA THAT'S NOT U.N. FOOD PACKETS??

  • @ADVERTlSEMENT although its the sad truth, don't expect any likes because that was messed up for you to say that.

  • @ADVERTlSEMENT Do we have food on the continent that is not UN rationed food??! You got to be kidding me. Is this a serious question or a joke?

  • @kblikesgh that was a joke

  • @ADVERTlSEMENT works for me. lol.

  • i'm hungry now

  • And anthother thing buddy in the video eats with somuch pride like Africa is something to be pride about bout we don't eat wih

  • African food sucks u guys eat with so much oil in ur rice at that, and why the hell do u need to cook with somuch different meat at once nasty. No wonder y ur girls are so over weight. I am a jamican a product of the slave trade that you west Africans sould us into n we us jew cook the best food

  • That did not look like fufu. That looked like gaari and stew.

  • I eat this am african nd i know how to make it if u wnt i will put a video of how to make it

  • When he says "never eat with your left hand." He says this because traditionally people wiped their ass with their left hand, and ate with their right hand. As well as shacking peoples hands. This is no longer valid due to the fact that we have massive quantities of anti bacterial.

    Just a nice little fact there.

  • @IKillerPieI LOL good one!

  • fufu is africa ,africa is fufu haha ,

  • so is Fufu in East africa too.If not what are some interresting foods in East Africa?

  • I miss fufu! Hope I can go back to Ghana again.

  • whats the name of the sauce they eating it with , and do anybody know how u make that sauce?

  • Does anyone know how to make this,I looked it up but not a lot of info out here.

  • @kmbbmk1 if you go to any west African market they have the powder that's already grounded for you... you simply pour water into it until it is the similar consistency as pancake batter,, making sure to stir it very well and mash all the knots and unmixed portions. once this is done you place it in the microwave(b/c its easier) for about 6 minutes or until it is a high yellow color,not pale yellow. then you mix it along the side of the bowl and serve.

  • I don't understand what's hard about eating fufu lol but nigerian fufu is differen't than ghananian fufu

  • da aint no fufu, expecialli nt de one we eat in ghana. somethin dat we ghanians roll in our had would be kenke, gari or semolina lol. but i cnt call dat fufu

  • Fufu,Foufou,Foutou et.c have different preparation according to its country. The meaning of it all is African dough balls.Either prepare with, plantain,cassava, yam, cocoyam et.c. Actually the one in video is Eba (Garri balls) and the other black one is Amala  (Yam flour balls)

  • it takes time to figure it out?? whats so hard about eating fufu?? lol

  • @maskiri28 have a novice try to eat ogbono or even just egusi it'll end up down the front of their shirts lol. I think that's what she was talking about :)

  • Try Esthers ready stew. It takes a good 3 hrs out of the stew making process!!

  • That is how most west Africans eat it. Its made from pounded boiled cassava. The Ghanian fufu is like rice balls. And Asian lady, fufu can be use for soups with rice and stews, thank you. That black guy looked clueless. most people grab a piece, smother it, and chew. 123. Done.

  • @chenelle126 actually i heard you're supposed to swallow it whole, no chewing allowed.

  • Comment removed

  • UMM THE REPORTER IS CHINESE LIKE SHE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT FUFU

  • @redcolourainbowgirl she is interested, and she is spreading the culture, isnt that a good thing?...maybe from now on you should only comment or experience things of your own ethnicity or skin colour...cock

  • @popinjay3000 don't fuckin comment back to me if ur gonna have attitude like that

    good day grandpa

  • Comment removed

  • @redcolourainbowgirl let's see your ugly face compare with hers! hahahaha

  • cette cuisine est suprbe mes enfants l'ont degueuler depuis le trou du cu et de partou

  • thats eba not fufu

  • @TREX3436 in congo is called fufu in nigeria its called eba

  • @PrinceChris93 thts tru

  • its called ebai.e garri mixed with hot water and the dark one is called amala

    . this are yoruba foods from nigeria

  • Fufu is with soup =S ...

  • Foufou to me (Abron/Koulango-Ivory Coast origine) is usually made with plantain (ripe or non-ripe); it can be done with yam also (not to be confuse with potato--in french it is igname). it is not mash thoroughly like foutou. We call what other west African call fufu, Foutou. Foutou can be made with yam, taro, plantains (ripe-my fav or not ripe) w/t cassava. Normally in my culture we mix the plantain w/t a little of cassava to give it a thougher structure. Oh how do I miss foutou!

  • @NadegeP1 oh I forgot to mention the main difference between foufou and foutou beside the texture ia mixing palm oil foufou to give it a different color & taste (it makes it red & gives it a nice taste)--I think we mix onion, pepper and other things in it and can be eating without sauce unlike Foutou. Sauce for Foutou can be sauce grain (sauce made out of palm), peanut sauce, Okra sauce, sauce d'aubergine, sauce made out of hot pepper and dehydrated fish (poison sec) etc,,,

  • that isnt fufu is greacemeal

  • thats not fufu, thats mashed riceee mtchewww

  • I am literally dying of slow lung cancer, I have about 5-6 years to according to the doctor. I am an indian that lived my childhood nigeria, I used to eat with my malam (gatekeeper) pretty much everyday. I would pay and do whatever I can for someone in US to send me some genuine okra soup to my house.

  • @DoozyJr Where do you live? what state?

  • @akonvict Indianapolis, IN

  • @DoozyJr We have plenty of it down here in Houston TX, including fufu...

  • @akonvict Yeah it's a small state, there was one place near my house. Sort of expensive but worth it, they closed down or something.

  • FAKE ASS AFRICAN

  • DASS NT FUFUU MORE LYK POUNDED YAM

  • @FreeDogdylan..LOL so u say good food is available in africa becz of colonization. Do europeans even know what good food is. If you look at history, european, particularly british cuisine is the most primitive one. Each culture has its own cuisine, and Africa is vast and has traditional dishes all over the continent. I'm pretty sure u havent tastd all the dishes from all the african countries to declare "African food is terrible". BTW I am Indian (from India) and I am offended by what you said.

  • @bujjisari look im not from africa and i have taste their food. IT IS GOOD. India food is so spicey you can't enjoy it.

  • @bujjisari

    In most African countries, they eat each one and another's shit. There is no "African cuisine" it is just eating shit.

  • @bujjisari European foods are delicious and very elegant in fact! Do not be bitter that they became a lot more advanced than most other continents, including in cuisine. If you are claiming that Britain pales in comparison as far as primal aspects are concerned, then I question your disillusionment.

  • LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOL

    THAT SHIT IS NOT FUF.

    AND THAT BITCH TALKING IS TALKING A LOT OF BULLSHIT. EVERYTHING THAT CAME OUT THAT GOB OF HERS IS A PILE OF SHIT!!!

    CHECK MY NAME - KWAKUTHEGHANAIAN. SO I KNOW WHAT IM ON ABOUT

  • Nubian food is the best and esp for Nubians I love it. ;)

  • African food is terrible. The reason why african food is terrible is because africans are soo poor so they have never built up any propserus food-culture. Thank God for the colonialization of Africa. Now you can find eatable food all around Africa but it cost a lot. Personally I like this deep fried bun called "poff poff" so long you dip it in suger. I can only eat a few of those,though. European,Arab, and Asian cusine is good though.

  • @FreeDogdylan oh shut the fuck up your ignorant shit. Food is food.

  • @FreeDogdylan Stick to eating European food then u tit....instead of bitching on a video about how terrible African food is.... fucking arrogant twat!

  • @FreeDogdylan i dont want to start any trouble but what u said was kind of offemded by ur somment because darling not all africans are poor...just to lwt u knw btw :)

  • @nourshellmoyo No, not all Africans are poor but the vaste majority of them live of 1 dollar a day. I do not see why this would offend you, because it is true. Now, there is likely good food in Africa. I like plantain, Yam, cassava and other things produces and eaten in Africa. What I really like is the ultra spicey grilled or baked in owen, chicken that is eaten in west africa (For example Cameroon, also said to be in central Africa).. I do not like brittish food either so...

  • @FreeDogdylan where are u from, you ignorant idiot? 

  • PRIMITIVE NIGGER USE THE FAUCET TO WASH YOU DIRTY HANDS

  • @lemongrass64 lol i bet that water consisted of sweat and cum, from his daughters rape

  • he said sauce -_-

  • The fuck u stupid ass african r complaining about if this is fufu or eba!! Watch the damn video and get out. Nobody cares about what u think

  • that fufu had lumps xD

  • That's not fufu. Looks more like pounded yam - Nigerian stuff

  • as for that ignorant person who said food in america are americanized is stupid. I mean does that mean i should called chicken chow mein as mu shu chicken? or lasagna as linguini or chicken tacos as quesadillas?!!

  • I'm from Ghana west Africa and, that is....not fufu. seriously that is Gari pino or eba. Fufu is made with pounded yam, cassava, Plantian or cocoyam. we swallow it or eat it with soup. please dont talk about things you dont know. get your facts right before you open your mouth to the world. Just because gari is made with cassava doesn't mean you can call it fufu. please call it what ever you want but not fufu. thank you!!

  • my family [on both sides] is west african, yet i was born in america. Things about this video is sort of odd-ish 2 me, espicially the whole thing w/ you cant eat w/ your right hand...o.o....says who?!?! & speaking of eating w/ hands, i havent seen anyone eat fufu w/ their hands ever since i was like 6 & now im 16. Ive been used to seeing fufu being eaten w/ a spoon, no matter where im at. Well when i take my trip to africa later this year i hope to see someone eating fufu with their hands lol:)

  • @xxCandilicousxx I have never eaten fufu with my hands and I have never seen anyone in my family do that either.

  • @xxCandilicousxx he said not to eat with your left hand not right, and i am 18 and i eat fufu with my hands. When eating in public i use a spoon but at home or at a relatives house i eat with my hands. It all just depends on your family and what part of West Africa your from. I'm sure when you go to Africa you will see plenty of people eat with their hands.

  • its rather Egusi Soup and Pounded Yam not Fufu!!!

  • They are moist! LOL

  • lol this is gari not fufu

    

  • Comment removed

  • i wonder why do these people come on here and lie other people. I am from west africa Liberia and we do eat fufu a! lot but this is not it. This is 100% gari.Fufu is much softer and whiter not hard please!

  • @othishka it is gari when it is not cooked, it became eba after it's cooked. the kind of fufu he's eating is called eba.

  • that is soo freash

  • @The1Emaan wow that sounds yummy. I would have been thrilled too!! lol n u welcome

  • @The1Emaan haha yay u! lol how was it? What did you eat yours with?

  • @The1Emaan I know what you mean, sweetie bt... I have a lot of friends from Nigeria and Ghana--none of who cares about what hand people eat with, needless to say have such a custom... And what about those who are straight-up left handed and cannot do jack with their right hands?

  • lol the guy is just adding his own stuff "u never want to eat with your left hand" ...really? who cares

  • dirty bastards

  • Fufu looks delish !

    Where can I buy some?

    I'm always exploring new foods to try out! :)

  • my cats name is fufu hahhaha

  • ....its supposedly about the food, and not about monica....attention whore

  • this aint no ghanaian fufu

  • that looks like UGALI....

    a kenyan dish..

  • Ghana's main food right there...Trend setters lol

  • i remember i knew a nigerian woman who was eating fufu but she was souping up the food with the fufu and eating the food but not the fufu. i was wondering why she didnt have a fork or spoon and why she just didnt eat the fufu itself.now i know. they use it to pick the other food up to eat it.

  • @05maafia- Say it again ...nd SOME BITCHES THINK THE KNOW SHIT ABOUT OUR CUISINE..PLSSS TO GH CUSINE THERE IS NO AMERICAN WAYS SO SOME FOOLS NEED TO REALLY SHUT THEIR MOUTH..Chewwww

  • Hahahahahhaahhahahahahahahaaah­ahhahahahaha

  • Comment removed

  • We need african cuisine in canada ! 

  • Dun'Knoe Bout Fufu :]

  • @CaptaubCrunch4Me- Ppl like u make me sick bcs THERE WAS NEED TO INSULT ME...2nd. Ask any ghanaian home nd abroad...WE DO NOT EAT THAT FUFU...ND WE DO NOT EAT WITH A STEW BUT WE EAT WITH SOUPS...Next time do not insult ppl STUPID ASSS BITCHHH!!! BITCHES LIKE U SHOULD GET BURN ALIVE BCS U ARE A HATEFUL ANIMAL THAT DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MY CULTURE SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! Chew

  • dont eat with your left hand because thats the hand that they use to wipe in africa

  • Whatever that is THAT ''FUFU'' is not the FUFU we eat in Ghana..

  • There are many diffirent kinds of Fufu

  • @TheMZLEXUS Stop bitchin'. Many foods in America are...Americanized. Chinese food isn't the same. Mexican food isn't the same. Not much is the same as the kind made in the country it originated from.

  • @CaptainCrunch4Me really? when you go to a restaurant to eat and you order mashed potatoes, and they bring you french frys then tell me how you feel about that

  • @afuavi Well, I've never had that happen to me. I'm sorry that the restaurants you go to are full of an idiotic staff, because I've never heard of a man ordering mashed potatoes and getting french fries instead.

  • @TheMZLEXUS I agree with you ..that doesnt look like fufu that west africans eat...that looks like GARI mixed with hot water.lol

  • @TheMZLEXUS yep tats tha best FUFU with chicken soup omg i wanna go to ghana now

  • @TheMZLEXUS lol, this is gari, which technically is not fufu. But then again, fufu is made from all kinds of stuff.

  • @dancenijas -Well as i say whatever that is..this is not the typical fufu we eat in Ghana..rest my case!

  • @TheMZLEXUS i found out its actually erbah..which is gari in very hot water and mixed like fufu.

  • @taboakos -ok ...at the end of the day i remain in my position ...that aint the fufu we eat in Ghana..nd also we in Ghana do not eat the erbah that u are saying ...

  • @TheMZLEXUS I am from Ghana also..n i get what u saying..it's mostly the Nigerians who eat the erbah..but some Ghanaians also eat it..it's just not that popular.

  • @TheMZLEXUS

    Tell me about it.

  • @TheMZLEXUS 

    Very true. You will need real genuine Fufu to enjoy the meal. I'm in Denmark and even ordinary mashed potatoes will do better than the rather muddi substance in the video.. Fufu is essential to enjoy the meal.

  • @c0mf0rt1 -Lol say it again...I wish I can also get the real fufu here in Canada..instead am also getting the mash potatoe ...full of starch..lol....can wait to have the real deal in December 2011 along side with a nice abunabunu soup ,,,,lol...Ghana here I come ohhh...lol...Stay Bles my dear ...

  • @TheMZLEXUS Thats true. The nigerian version of fufu is more like what we call banku. I realised that many african countries have something like this that they call fufu but the composition and cooking method varies.

  • @TheMZLEXUS i heard that depending on the country Fufu is prepared differently. I had some made by a Igbo and it was pretty good. I would like to try some made by people from Ghana too :P

  • @creolelady70 -If you live in the diaspora especially Europe their various Ghanaian restaurant ....if also in the US or Canada as well...inbox me so we can see what we can do...Stay Bless!

  • wth that not fufu that rice ball, fufu dose'nt look like that and fufu is not made with dough it made with casava and plantain not dough wth it only in western countries that u have to use dough bc there's no casava

  • ahahahah herh that's not fufu!!

  • I'm half british but West African food and well, everything about west africa makes me proud to also be half nigerian :)

  • GHANA BOOOOOOOOP!

  • Fufu vs Tofu

    WHO WINS?!?!

  • @Chilling10680 Tofu is very different from fufu, they are not in the same category to be cross-examined.

  • @theinquest lol! My thoughts exactly. I can see if the vid was abt chicken or something. Pple r jobless mehn.

  • What the fuck is she talking about? You do not need meat or any ceremonies!! I love it!

  • Comment removed

  • whu de fk would eat cow skin?????...

  • @heliuma1, SHUT UP JO.jamo

  • white mann..making me jealous like this..ahhbeehh, i de want dat fufu...

  • she got the best job ever T.T

  • correct me if im wrong but that looks more like eba than fufu ..i swear fufu isnt that grainy

  • @TheLaydeeNaee yeah it is eba

  • it's food. put it in your mouth. chew. swallow. please send me your paycheck.

  • oh come on....it's not a science to eat food. i say eat this how you want. it's all going to the same place...it's not that serious....

  • "it is kinda tricky and take a little while to get around it but what you wanna do is pull of a little piece, about size of a quater" loooool woow dumb americans. I wonder what they would say about rice. " These are called rice, they are little white things u kno.."

  • @AdityaYAKTHUMBA why do you africans alway think americans are making fun of them. you ppl say you want ppl to see africa her she is not saying anything bad about your smelling ass and she dump for that well let me tell you what i saw when i went poor uneducated dump ass like yourself bagging all the americans you saw for money

  • @kahua33 one guy talking gabage doesnt equal "you africans" dont judge us by one or a few people please

  • 14 dislikes? i dont particulary like idea of eatting this food. i never tried it and probably never will. but what i dont understand is why would people dislike this video? they are only explaining about how to eat it...whats wrong with that?! some people's ignorance is beyond me..

  • but it is west african meal. why do you get upset?

  • Every country prepare and eat fufu differently.Ghanaians DONOT eat fufu with their two hands and we eat fufu with any of the following or a combination: pea nut butter (groundnut paste) soup,palm nut soup (prepared from the pulp of pounded boiled palm) or any soup you can prepare.We donot eat fufu with sauce shown in the video.

    We've individual differences and diffrences in our culture and tradition,so we shd stop calling a prominent traditional CUISINE of the ASHANTI KINGDOM as nasty

  • @Samuzas666 dude just cuz ur left handed dont mean ur right hand is paralysed just eat with it its not impossible

  • @u6vewer lol what if you dont have a right hand how would u eat??? truthfully I would just use a fork XD

  • @Samuzas666 then you have to learn to eat with your right hand. lol in some cultures they would kill you if you were left handed. but i think that was just in anceint times.

  • its not nasty,it tastes good!

  • nasty african food

    , ghana , nigeria , congo , DRC CONGO.

  • @topselectedtv Thanks for pointing that out to our lil friend. some ignorant ppl just use any lil' excuse to insult ppl.

  • @topselectedtv You are So Wrong IT EVery where I ARFICA MY FRIEND FORM EAST AFRICA ALWAYS EATS FUFU DONT TRY TO CLAIM A FOOD PS: I AM FROM CAMEROON We EAT FUFU BUT I DISLIKE IT

  • @BrandonStillJerks There is something similar over most of sub-Sahelan Africa, but made with different ingredients, slightly different methods. Fufu is usually made with plantains and whatever is grown in a region that will work. The problem may be that there are so many different languages in Africa that one food item may go by a hundred names or the same name be applied to a hundred products. Is it worth starting a tribal war on YouTube?

  • @leftysergeant fufu is made with cassava and a little bit of plantain.

    "fufu" made with plantain only is not the fufu we know in west africa, you have to balance it out! heck you can even replace the cassava with cocoyam.

    The food they're eating in this video is not fufu, its gari cooked with hot water (sort of how you would cook powdered mashed potatos on the stove)
