FUFU & EGUSI SOUP 😋
Have you tried it before ?
The first time I tried Egusi a few years ago it was horrible (sorry) but it was 😩 but it wasn’t the meal it was the place I got it from .
Everybody was shocked that I didn’t like it 😂🤦🏾♀️ so they was like you gotta try it here, and here and here lol so I tried it another time at a different place! This place called FINGER LICKING ! And y’all, when I say it’s sooooo good , i think I ate egusi 3 days straight when I ate it from there lol .
I’ve tried it at like 2 other places here and they were ok, but FINGER LICKING was the best to me . And yes I eat it with my hands, and for my meat, I always get fish, I have had it with beef as well .
Do you eat African food? Have you tried Egusi ? Do you eat it w your hands 😋😏

Fufu and Egusi soup are staple dishes widely enjoyed across West Africa, especially in Nigeria and Ghana. Egusi soup is made from melon seeds, which are ground and cooked with leafy vegetables, spices, and meat or fish. Fufu, a dough-like side, is traditionally made by pounding starchy foods such as cassava, yams, or plantains to a smooth consistency. Together, they create a hearty and flavorful meal. What’s great about Egusi soup is its versatility – you can enjoy it with various proteins like fish, beef, or chicken, and the soup itself can range from mild to spicy depending on the recipe. Eating with your hands, as many locals do, adds a tactile and authentic touch to the experience, allowing you to better connect with the textures and flavors. If you’re new to this cuisine, I recommend trying Egusi soup from different local restaurants or African food spots to discover your favorite variation. Ingredients like fresh greens such as spinach or bitterleaf, palm oil, and traditional spices bring out unique flavors. Pairing it with fresh fufu enhances the meal’s comfort and satisfaction. Exploring African foods like Fufu and Egusi not only tantalizes your taste buds but also offers a cultural experience rich in history and tradition. Whether you’re visiting Houston or elsewhere, seeking out authentic versions like those at FINGER LICKING can turn into a delicious culinary adventure.
I’m Nigerian and I’ll make you fye pot and pound the fufu with a stick… 🥰
