 Fufu and Sauce
Fufu is a preparation made of boiled starch -- either grain or tuber -- that when ready to eat has a consistency somewhere between very stiff mashed potatoes and play-dough.
To make fufu from a grain, you take the maize / sorghum / rice / pearl millet / finger millet / etc. and grind it into a coarse flour, then mix into boiling water and stir until the consistency is right.
The anthropologist on the right is doing this with a cassava fufu, although she wished it were pounded yam which really does have a better flavor.

The most traditional and typical meal in sub-Saharan Africa is a soup or stew or sauce served with fufu (or one of its variants).
Whatever they are called, these foundations of the African meal are usually prepared in a process that involves pounding, boiling, and stirring a starchy staple until it is a very thick, sticky mass -- much thicker than mashed potatoes (which are their nearest counterpart in the typical European-American meal).
The porridges made from grains can be thinned with water, milk, or curdled milk to make a porridge that is eaten at breakfast, given to infants as a weaning food, or served to elderly and ill people; additional water or milk can be added to make beverages.

 Commercialisation of Cassava Fufu Processing in West Africa that maximises benefits to livelihoods
The commercialisation of traditional processed products from cassava, such as fufu, potentially offers new opportunities to rural households - either through sale of fresh roots or through processing and marketing.
This will be done through developing an understanding of the changes that different approaches to commercialisation are likely to have on local livelihoods in case study villages, including an analysis at both household and intra-household levels.
While working to improve access to markets for a processed cassava product (fufu), the project aims to develop an approach that ensures that any improved technology will not simply increase the income potential of particular groups, but will provide overall maximum benefit to the sustainable livelihoods of poor people.
