Mokolo ya Fufu

The great staple, the dough that holds the nation together. Fufu made from cassava flour, stirred with a wooden paddle in a pot that could feed ten people. The arm strength required to stir fufu properly is legendary. The first time you tried to make fufu yourself in a foreign kitchen, you understood why your grandmother had forearms like a wrestler.
