Somali version of fufu

[𐒁𐒚𐒒𐒂𐒘𐒂𐒗 𐒎𐒚𐒗𐒗𐒒]

This is not a traditional Somali dish unless someone here proves otherwise. Also, the lady making it? Is she from a minority clan?

I am sure it is yummy but can we not ascribe things to our culture that are not ours??

My family is from the northern region. My parents grew up in xamar and I never had this dish at home

Nobody here seems to have eaten it, seen it and certainly not prepared that way.

This lady straight up made Fufu in the same way West Africans eat it.

 

[marcellady]

they dead copied the way west africans make it and how they wrap it in plastic AND what they eat it with

I don’t think the video is from Somalia, and that dish is called fufu and egusi, which is Nigerian

Yh I think Swahili call it mandazi

we do, too

I would eat moxog normally not in this form we'd dip it bisbaas and eat it simply

Soor is definitely a Somali dish in the same way other dishes influenced by our trading history are. Even if it's from a minority clan, it's still technically "Somali". I've seen rhis dish before but I do not think it's typically eaten. My parents are from the North-East and grew up in the south. It's more of a southern dish, especially where the Somali Bantus live.


But I do agree, Soor is not usually made this way. It looks weird. I would say it's prepared more like Fufu. Nothing wrong with that of course but it's good to make a distinction.

I'm indifferent to it personally, can be really nice pour some nice suugo and have some malaay with it. Used to eat it a lot
