Designed in PixelLab by @breeze.com
Introduction
Hello great people and my dear friends of steemfoods .Hope you all are doing great? .I want to use this opportunity to thank the organizers of theses contests for giving us the opportunity to go through this tour. It has been amazing working with Steem Venezuela , Steemit pakistan and other marvelous communities . Today is is time to get down with steemfood community. It is a huge contest and I am super excited to be part of this amazing contest . it is not just about the food but a marvelous way to show our culture and lifestyle . like I mentioned on my post about my country.
I did say Cameroon where I come is very rich as far culture is concern from the dressing style, to the language ,cultural manifestations in the form dance, drama, etc. Today I have been given the opportunity to show case one of the rich delicacies of our country. I am going to be cooking this by myself, yes by myself..My wife is going to sit and observe this time around from a far..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am going to season chicken plus fufu corn. This will be used as a supplement .another Version of this is “katikati” purely tradition with red oil. But to be frank I do not not like that version I love mine with a little a bit of spices and some extra ingredients . My gas just got finished so i am going to be doing this in the firewood kitchen “traditional kitchen” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣ashh it is going to be hot and smoky but we do it for the culture and the contest . And because of time constrain I am actually typing this post and cooking at the same time.
This meal was suppose to go with vegetables but the vegetables was already prepared the previous day by my season. It was in the fridge and there was no electricity and I asked her to prepare it. I will present this beside what I am cooking today . I preferred seasoning the chicken this way because we are just two of us and may use it to cook other meals for a few days.
Let us get started. I will start by listing the ingredients and their prices
| ITEM | Price in FRS CFA | PRICE IN STEEM |
|---|---|---|
| Full chicken | 6000 | 20 |
| Corn fufu ½ a killo | 400 | 1.4 |
| Maggie | 50 | 0.17 |
| Onion | 100 | 0.34 |
| Chicken glory (already made spice ) | 100 | 0.34 |
| Ginger and garlic | 100 | 0.34 |
| ½ little Groundnut oil | 600 | 2 |
| Total | 7350 | 24.5 |
NB: This prices are calculated based on the price of steem as from 01/04/2022
The process
Part one
The chicken seasoning
- I started by putting some water on the fire. this hot water will later be used to pluck chicken's feathers
- While waiting i arranged the spices
- Then I slaughtered the chicken and cut it into pieces.
- I cut the chicken into slices, washed the slices and put them inside the pot
- Prepared all the spices and put into the pot
- I did not put any water because I did not want it to cold too soft and since we will be preserving the chicken for some few days.
- Then I allowed it to season for about 30 minutes, I did not actually time myself though .
- In a few minutes it was ready and I dished into the flask
Part two
Corn Fufu
we already had corn flower in the house so I took it a sieved
Put the corn flower into hot water stirred until it was ready.
- This is actually simple
This is the vegetables my sister cooked the previous day..I will use it to eat the fufu🤣🤣.
That was basically all I did so just had my share .My sister had gone to church she will come and help herself. I am inviting those around me to come have their share.
But I heard today is ghost because of the Labour Day in the English sections of our country so you may want to carry a bullet proof while you come
Conclusion
I particularly grateful to the #steemitblog for organizing these contests. I have never thought of preparing a meal and sharing but here I am. And I must confess to you the process is not that easy. The sweating, the smoke the heat and everything …. “merde” we need to come in once in a while or most of the times especially when we work less outside to assist our women. They are doing a wonderful job cooking . That is why I am setting 10% benefit of this post to steemfood for my own support 😂😂😂😂.I hail you all my ladies ……..
Thank you all for going through this post

I hail you too my dear friend 🤣🤣
Oh my God! I love eating huckleberry and fufu-corn and you y know what? Ouuuf! That's my traditional meal and I like it peppery.
I can see how you have sweated in the kitchen and I'm so proud of your efforts too. Now we know all men can surely cook and cook very deliciously but you guys don't want us to know. Now I know ehh!
When I travelled to my work station and my kids and husband are left at home here in Bamenda, before even traveling he always insist I prepare different soups and refrigerate in order for him to just make what it's accompanying the soup with.
I was surprised during one weekend I told him I'm not going to come back but surprised him that I met my husband cooking and sweating in the kitchen🤣 cooking Fufu-corn and huckleberry.
Then I knew what men can not do don't really exist when it comes to domestic work🤣🤣🤣
Another scenery was when I recently put to birth this 4th child and since it was via Cesarian section and my mom was with me in the hospital which is kilo meters far from home coupled with the ghost towns, my husband responsibility was to solely cook for us in the hospital and for our kids too at home. You know! I wasn't supposed to eat just any type of food. But I was happy he devoted some effort towards cooking.
Yes dear i know all tribes in the Northwest region are so attached to fufu corn. And I know where you come from it is your stable food ....
Like seriously dear we can cook the fact is just that we hardly have time to actually exercise the patience and bring out a good meal.
But i give much respect to our ladies out there you guys are so special and are doing a very wonderful job for us.
Ashhhhhh your guy is romantic like myself 🤣🤣🤣🤣... I remember when my wife also put to birth i cooked for almost 1 week before mum took over...
Well my friend. You are indeed a good blogger. Keep up. The sky is our starting point..
And you know! Women love romance and should I tell you a little secret!🤔🤔
Women love when they're cooking and their men support them in the kitchen to either slice some spices or keep them company
🤣🤣🤣🤣 A don copy that one ohhhhhh. I will always try it . But when i am coking i don't like dusturbance ..
Thanks for the secret ...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're welcome
Woow woow you are outstanding bro. Your choice of dish is the best I have been reading throughout the whole week on different authors various dishes because your choice of dish is purely traditional and most of the other authors dishes are modern dishes
But wait oooh, you be first wan cookam for wusai 🤣🤣. You no know say them do ever cook katikati na for 3 stone fire side? Most especially fufu, So tell me, how do you prepare fufu in the gas whereas fufu requires extra power to prepare it most especially during the stiring process. However, everything have become modern now because I see people mostly prepare fufu but In the gas. I haven't tried that before because I always prepare it but in the 3 stone fire side
Meeeeeeerde your method of preparation is quite modern because I see you didn't used red oil in the katikati and most of all, you used spices there too. But this method is pretty cool and I also love it because of how tasty and delicious 😋 it is
Asay ehhh bro, you wicked oooh. You cook my favorite chop no even invite me na how nor
Hello bro you know our traditional meal is what we grew up with and it has been in our blood air long. We can hardly depart from it.
Massa you know we hardly cook large quantities. So we just cook small and one person stirs it ......
Yes bro like i said i do not really like the Katikati with much oil. I prefer this style..🤣 But if i see i will still eat..🤣🤣
I invited everybody ohhhhh...You just needed to wear a pullet proof...hahaha....cuz today was ghost town....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for your kinds words bro..

🤣🤣🤣🤣Wow i did not know it was your traditional meal ohhhhh...You must be from the North West then...
Wow did not know you are married 😋. Hope your husband really enjoys the meal .
I actually eat fufu as a necessity i don't really cherish it that much. I prefer Achu...
Flo so where do u hail from ?????
You've sweated and the outcome is a good. I can imagine how it will taste. It should be good like the one I ate at your place last time
For sure Cameroon is richly blessed with so many cultural values food and others
Ashia my brother. Now you undet what women go through even though some people think it's not difficult. Sometimes it's easy sometimes its difficult. Courage and great job done. Your wife won't suffer

Thanks for you kind words dear....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ok you did it! Well done👏🏻👏🏻
Not only have you filled our bellies but you have put huge smiles on our face.
I tell you something, wood cooking is best!
I can try and cook your way but I’m not sure if I would be able to slaughter the chicken 😊
Ohhh thank you so much....
I wish i actually did physically 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly it is really good except for the smoke.
Hahahahaha... You just have to keep your conscience away to be able to slaughter the fowl.
So do you people cook corn fufu in South Africa??????
Nope, we don’t cook corn fufu in SA. Or should I rather say, not what I know of
Ohhhh i see...You will taste it when you come to Cameroon
