Fufu is a Ghanaian staple. It is a pounded doughy grain (usually made from casava I believe). You eat it with your hand (right hand only) by pinching off a small piece and then using it to scoop as much broth as you can mange. You don't chew it - you just swallow the ball whole. This is the quintessential Ghanaian food - although many of the dishes here are eaten with the hand without the assistance of a spoon or fork. There is not a lot of variety in the food - given access to resource - but rice, chicken, fish, fufu, banku, and ampesie (boiled yams) are generally available. At this time of year there is also a lot of pineapple, watermelon, banana, orange, and apples.
