Our friend, West, from Ghana told us that making fufu is A LOT of work. The stick is very heavy and you have to really pound it with all your strength. While the one with the stick is pounding, the one sitting is folding the dough over and over between hits. There has to be a rhythm between the two... and trust!!! I had to look up what fufu is made of... boiled plantains and cassava root which is then pounded into a dough. It looks like Gunnar has it down. West made Gunnar fufu before he left on his mission. You eat it with your fingers. We dipped it in fish stew which West also made. The key is to just swallow it whole. You do not chew it. Missionaries come to love fufu!
