    Hi guys Mouna’s here. Thank you for watching this episode. I just want to clarify few things. I went to the show thinking they wanted me to make peanut butter stew and that’s why you see a stew instead of soup. I was very confused when I seen other people who brought a normal peanut butter soup. That’s why I was asking too much about them vegetables lol. For those familiar with French African peanut butter soup (Maafe) you guys know it’s heavy and full of vegetables so that’s what I made. And when you say soup it means maafe for us. So I guess it’s different from each country. I wasn’t trying to be mean or rude I was just very confused so I apologize for it. Also I like Abena’s soup better because hers wasn’t really spicy. Kathy’s soup was just too spicy for me to eat. I just couldn’t. That’s just my preference ! Anyways it was nice to be part of it. Thank you for the opportunity Buzzfeed. Don’t forget so many parts were cut, you guys didn’t get to see everything. So be kind🫶🏾 Thank you for all the positives feedbacks✨ I appreciate y’ll💕

      she wasn't criticizing at all. She was just very surprised because it was so different from what they call Mafé in french speaking WA countries. Mafé can never be as liquidy and soupy as peanut butter soup, also many onions are needed, along with aubergines, cabbage and carrots, in order to prepare a proper mafé. Mafé is very different from peanut butter soup. She was just surprised.
      Just look at how they criticized her food, because they didn't know it was done differently in french speaking WA countries. They were very mean, yet very ignorant.

The maroon people in French Guiana, where I am from, have a very similar dish which they brought from Africa during slavery time, it's called Pinda chicken. You should try it, it's that good.

    I'm Indian and decided to try making peanut butter soup at home a couple of months ago out of curiosity. Used elements of a few different Ghanaian recipes and did mine with bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and some own brand peanut butter from the Coop. MY GOD. It had been a long time since I'd tried something that had such a completely new flavour profile; it was properly spicy, smooth and unctuous, with the fat from the peanuts and chicken combining to make the flavour of the anise and thyme and garlic go on and on and on. I ate it three days in a row and it's become a go-to dinner, though it does take some planning since I like to marinate the chicken the night before and cook after work. Delicious doesn't even begin to describe it. I wish I could bottle this sauce and BATHE in it - plus, we keep the residual fat skimmed off the top and cook everything in it from fried rice to eggs.
    If anyone wants to invite me and my husband over for an authentic bowl made by someone who grew up in one of the cultures that loves this dish, I will be your best friend :'D

      @@RDCFemmes To be fair, Mouna's version can just as well be called cabbage soup because the cabbage and apparently carrots featured more prominently in it. So the person you accused of ignorance is not wrong to observe that you could also NOT call it peanut butter soup. Peanut butter soup that I have tried from Ghana tastes very very much like peanuts. Its the first thing that you taste and smell. It appears like if you taste the Burkina Fasso lady's peanut butter soup, it would not immediately taste like it was made with peanuts, but cabbage and carrots.

    The Ghana lady’s soup is the most authentic soup. That’s how we do it in my country. It’s soup with rice ball. BIGGER rice ball but it’s to be expected. I won’t say more.
    The other lady from Sierra Leone makes hers the way I make mine. It’s thick and spicy and with lots of meat and but I eat it with rice, not yam or cassava.
    So, I knew the Ghana lady was gonna win because that’s the most authentic African way of cooking peanut butter soup/sauce.

    Us Filipinos have something similar to this, but it's more like a stew than a soup. We call it Kare-Kare. It's traditionally made with oxtails, but since that ingredient is kind of expensive now, beef is used (not sure what cuts). We also typically add in tripe, eggplant, bok choy, and green beans, but there are other ingredients added because everyone has their own delicious recipe. We normally eat it with a side of white rice and that's all she wrote. I want some now and I just had some at a party yesterday lol (no baon :( )

Then we have the regular groundnut soup which closer in comparison to the first ladies soup in this video. To make this soup, whole raw peanuts a lightly grilled in a skillet then ground into a paste which will be used to make the soup. Finally we have people who like putting vegetables in the soup like shredded cabbage ( a little bit like the third lady's soup) but ours is soupy with more liquid than hers.

Then, after it got to the most dreamy😊 consistency, she would serve it over a bed of fluffy Jasmine rice. I had never, and I still have never had another culinary experience quite like it!!!

      Its an art, really because, though I can duplicate the flavor, I have never been able to duplicate the consistency.
      Oh and they called it Gound nut soup, and not peanut soup. I guess thats because peanuts grow in the ground.😅

    Actually Mounas tribe was closer to the actual Groundnut soup (only carrots in) but the dish changes in each country so it makes sense that they weren’t familiar with it😊

    We just make pepper soup and add peanut butter. I sometimes add rice or you can eat with boiled sweet plantains. One of my favorite dishes.

    I love how Abeni started off trying to be polite but she just got more and more upset 😭😂 it will NEVER cease to make me laugh when the one that talks all the smack has the lowest rated dish 🤣 they were all super nice compared to every other video I’ve seen tho so love the energy they all had
