# I think this is a good thing.

 

![Not my actual fufu](https://https.youngleadersinternational.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/180px-fufu_in_groundnut_soup_with_fish.jpg?width=180&height=141&name=180px-fufu_in_groundnut_soup_with_fish.jpg "180px-fufu_in_groundnut_soup_with_fish")

This afternoon at lunch I found myself craving dried fish with my [Fufu](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fufu).  On my first eight or so visits to West Africa the sight or smell of dried fish immediately turned my stomach.  I even avoided walking past them laid out on the ground at the market.  But in September, Churcher dared me to try a bite of his.  And today I was almost disappointed that the dried fish was “finished” at Osofu Mommy’s Chop Bar. 

I still give the fish head to Churcher though.  That is my current line in the sand.
