this dish is as fun to eat as it is to pronounce – you just break off a bit of foo foo and shape it into a ball, then use it to scoop up the jama jama. no utensils allowed, and traditionally everyone eats out of a common pot (hey, less dishes to wash!). however, there are a couple of ingredients that you may have to venture outside of the supermarket to find. Palm oil, an unmistakable bright orange color can be found at some ethnic food markets, as can instant foo foo which may be made out of yams, cassava, or plantains.

You might need to buy:
  • - a few tablespoons of palm oil
  • - finely chopped ginger or ginger powder
  • - hot chili powder or cayenne pepper
  • -box of foo foo mix
