Fufu

Fufu, fufu, fufu

I recall some delicious fufu meals in Linden, Guyana

There was the plantain fufu typically on Sunday

I thought I ate it with fish stew only

The plantain like dumpling, an island in the stew water

I assisted to make it at least once, I am certain that I did

I recall the mortar and pestle used to make the dish

The mortar a rounded hole in a small block of wood that reminds me of a stump

With my right hand, I pounded the plantain until it was rubber-like.
