Food is an important part of every culture. This semester I learned how to make Fufu, a traditional Liberian dish, with my boyfriend’s family. Fufu is a dish made of meat stew with a plantain base. This dish is a staple food in the Bassa tribe which his family is a part of. I really enjoyed the ability to taste the different cultures food and connect with his family through preparing this meal. I found the texture of the plantain odd but overall it tasted very good. I look forward to embracing new cultures through trying new foods.
