Spice level warning — Fufu is not what I expected

I underestimated Fufu. The smoky and warming description didn't prepare me for the reality. fermented dawadawa brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

the debate over Ghanaian versus Nigerian jollof rice is a celebrated West African rivalry. The a market jollof rice stall setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. fresh palm wine cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
