@@rotimikayode1072 💯BS!!! Fufu is not and has never been pounded yam, they don’t taste, smell or have the same texture.

I think all these differences depends on where you come from because where I come from, pounded Yam and the rest of the other swallows are fufu. The one people like you call fufu also has its name, so it’s best to allow people call it the way they’re used to. If you can agree with me even fufu is swallow.
@ pounded yam is indigenous to Nigeria and it’s not cassava, like I have commented previously we don’t traditionally eat what other West Africans call Fufu. What we associate with fufu is Akpu, and it’s also traditional different from Fufu. An outsider cannot give our indigenous food, a name that is alien to us, it’s completely unacceptable.
What's pounded yam? Fufu is fufu, Iyan is Iyan. That's the name of the food. Even Britishs calls Pizza Pizza and spaghetti spaghetti, though they're an Italian food. They don't give them an English name. You can't translate food names. The name is the name. Respect that!
It's because it's a stew and not a soup. You have soup alone like pepper soup, stew is a sauce cooked with meats and or vegetables that you eat with an accompaniment, all of the stews we eat with swallows and rice. We call them vegetable soup but it's not soup but stew.
@joye5761 it's not a soup. It's English. I'm Nigerian. I know most people call it soup but it's a stew. When you cook vegetables and/or meats in a liquid, it's a stew except if you consume it alone then it's a soup. Pepper soup is a soup, egusi soup is a stew and not a soup. People just say it wrong. That doesn't make it right
The last video of the dude trying out Amala was it for me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂just what kids would do when trying out new food. I like the fact that he didn’t pretend to like Amala. Amala with vegetable soup is very healthy for anyone. Thank you all for trying out Nigerian foods ❤
Fufu ain't Pounded yam o 😂 but in English is often called Pounded yam sometimes. Fufu! Fufu is a traditional dish from Central and West Africa, particularly in countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In English, fufu is often translated to "boiled and pounded cassava" or "boiled and pounded yam." However, the term "fufu" is widely recognized and used in many English-speaking countries, especially in African diaspora communities. Fufu is made from boiled and pounded starchy vegetables like cassava, yams, or plantains. The pounding process involves using a large mortar and pestle to break down the boiled vegetables into a thick, dough-like consistency. Fufu is often served with soups or stews, and it's a staple food in many African cultures.
It is high time Nigerians start educating these people, Fufu is NOT Pounded Yam, they don’t taste the same, smell the same or have the same texture. Nigerians call dough like foods made from cassava and the likes ‘Swallow’ , which is a generic term for Eba, Amala, Pounded Yam, Starch, Akpu aka Fufu, Tuwo, Semo, Elubo etc. What other West Africans call Fufu is a boiled and pounded mixture of Cassava, Plantain and Cocoa yam (alternatively yam). What Nigerians call Fufu aka Akpu, is fermented cassava left for days, sifted, boiled and pounded, no admixture. The Black Americans who went to Ghana in the year of return, started all these mix up. We should start giving them what we call fufu in Nigeria, they will never make that mistake again. Btw Egusi is a traditional Nigerian meal and it’s called soup Not stew.
Nigerian restaurants, please don't sell egusi and pounded yam in the same bowl to your customers. Also, educate them on how we eat it in Nigeria!!!! Do you eat pounded yam and jollof rice together? 😢
Please be informed that pounded yam is "pounded yam", made from cooked fresh yam, and is crowned "the king of 'swallow', while Fufu (or Foofoo) is made from cassava, not yam. Whatever you mold and swallow with any kind of soup is called TUWO in Hausa language. There's "tuwo ndawa" (made from sorghum), "tuwo masara" (from maize), "tuwo hasi" from millet, etc, etc. What is supposed to be "Tuwo doya", POUNDED YAM, is called *Shokora* in Hausa. FUFU IS NOT POUNDED YAM. THANK YOU FOR TRYING NOGERIAN FOOD.

@joye5761 The definition of fufu has changed for more than five years now. You need to update your knowledge. You can Google the dictionaries if you are still in doubt.
@@rotimikayode1072 it hasn’t stop the BS. You are not in any position to tell Nigerians, to change the name of their indigenous cuisines to please “the international’ woke culture. You seem to have inferiority complex, sad because no ‘international circle’ will do that if the reverse was the case.
If you're going to try a tribe, a country or a continents meal and even worst, record it,I believe the most basic thing to do is learn the difference between each meal and most importantly, learn how they eat. I've gone past getting excited when I see foreigners trying our Nigerian food because it is always cringy how they couldn't properly watch tutorials to see how we eat different meals but they are quick to pull up a camera to film themselves eating for virality. Slap Nigeria on anything and you'll get mad views.
i was disappointed when the guy entered aduke restaurant and the nigerian lady called egusi soup “egusi stew” like you know better don’t americanize to come down to their level. we should be teaching them it and correcting them not making the same mistakes
Watching them cut fufu like toddler makes me laugh and laugh...
Bruh?! KB SAID THE RICE IS SPIRIT FILLED 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fufu is not pounded yam!!! Why are they making this mistake???
I wonder ooo
Fufu is the generic term for any kind of swallow. Eba, Amala, Semo, Poundo are considered members of the fufu family.
It’s crazy and we need to make this loud and clear as possible.

In America anything that is round and white is fufu actually . Whether semo or fufu or powder yam
The cooks and servers should tell them the difference between pounded yam fufu abeg!!
Fufu is the generic term for all kinds of swallows of which Poundo is a member. Eba, Amala , Wheatmeal, Semo, etc are members of the fufu family.
Nigerians need to start giving them fufu and then go ahead to serve pounded yam later, they will never make that mistake again.

For the love of christ fufu and pounded yam are 2 different things, they are not the same.
The lamentable influence of other African countries who call every last swallow fufu without differentiating them like we Nigerians do 🙄

The way they pronounce the fufu is hilarious 😂
It is KB’s explanation for me 😂
How has none of them tried white/native/okazi/bitter leaf soup or our bean and plantain all the time is egusi soup
Cos that's an easy one on the pallette, how can you want to introduce someone to new food and go straight to bitter leaf.
@ the order ones aside from bitter leaf soup is pretty tasteful than egusi and when mixed your taste buds will go crazy
Nigeria should start exporting food then 🤗
