Yes Alia i do eat Foo-Foo, its made from cassava. We also call it Six-to-Six, this because it can take twelve hours after taking it before one feels hungry!
I also love to cook and I love fried plantain with fresh fish stew.
My play-uncle, Billy, who's a Ghanian/Nigerian (I'm not being geographically ignorant---he's bicultural) makes this really delicious sauce of salmon. He says that its traditional but I don't know what its called: tomato, red pepper, ginger. I got him hooked on cardamon, so he's starting to add that too.
Egusi is vegetables (spinish) cooked in red stew (cook grounded tomatoes/red pepper/hot pepper with onions, with oil, seasonings etc) with grounded melon, chopped dried fish or chopped meat/gizzards, etc. Very succelent! This soup is great with solid foods (as in pounded yam, gari, amala etc) as well as with white rice. It is West African specifically the South-West Nigeria. Do other communities have Egusi (probably called another name)? Anyone knows?
Mama Put: I don't know how to cook this. It is a meat stew, usually hot and sweet at the same time and eaten with white-rice. If anyone knows how to cook it, please help.

Mr. Abdulgee? Come on?
I like simple foods, any kind of rice dish with any kind of stew or soup, pasrticularly EGUSI and these days MAMA PUT .
Don't ask me for recipe, I just know how to eat. I cook though, when I need to.
Perhaps the professionals amongst us can help with the recipe.
Sorry to break my own rule, but no recipes on hand ;)
