  • This won't go over well with a lot of people but, but this dish is a direct descendant of west african 'fufu'-in cuba i believe they call it fufu de plátano. They make similar dishes in the English-speaking caribbean as well where it is known by other names- fungi, coucou, etc.

  • @fm2577 +1, that's 100% correct. we had worked the african origin in during the shoot but it didn't play smoothly or fit with the more modern focus so it didn't make the cut.
