Y'all better not be clowning West Africans for this anymore, we’re fufu munchers too

My friends mom use to cook this. I always disliked the texture. Why eat soor when you can just eat bariis??

Moxog is amazing

Booooooooooo. bariis is boring

 

[Chaseyourdreamzz]

This is the healthy food we need more of this and digir is essential protein bariis and basto are killers

It is not custom for all Somalis and I wonder if it was imported by Bantu communities.

I don't know what you're on about; it's always been taboo to eat it. It's just coming out because the culture has become less strict, the same way people didn't want to eat fish before.

This ain’t soor both the textures are different.

Soor with some nice suugo 100% taste better than this

Soor and fufu never made sense too me. If I had any sort of stew it makes sense to eat it with bread or canjeero. Even Ethiopian injera taste good with most stew. Consuming any sort of stew with a ball of fufu just seems dumb AF.

You gotta rip it apart and and form some sort of bowl. It's like your playing with play doh. Just so you can scoop shit up.

Soor's texture feels like a bunch of rice stuck together.

I’ve never seen this being cooked in Somalia. Is it a koonfur thing?

 

[Kisame]

This reminds me. I'm interested in trying out other types of African cuisine. I want to see what else is good from our continent.

I heard Senegalese food is good so I plan on trying that soon.

 

[Farah717]

as a mj never heard of this food lol must be a southern thing

East African Bantus don’t eat fufu. Moxog grows naturally in Somalia and is mostly given to livestock, but some Somalis eat it. It’s very healthy

 

[Devilsadvocate]

Never seen this before, it looks different to soor.

More healthy than baaris iyo baasto

 

[Kamaaludeen Al Reewin]

Foods like this and soor are actually more healthy then bariis and baasto. Soor and Fufu have higher fiber and a lower glycemic index which is good for keeping blood sugar levels stable.

One of the reasons why diabetes and high blood pressure is so high in somalis in the west is because we abandoned our original diet for white rice and white pasta. Our diet of soor, caano geel, Hilib geel and digir was low in glycemic index which meant it didn't spike our blood sugars and had fiber and protein which is more healthier
