Black and white photograph of a group of Nigerian men preparing fufu. Fufu is a staple food in west and central Africa, and is made from boiled starchy vegetables like cassava, plantain or yams ground into a dough. The men sit with large wooden pestles and mortars, grinding the boiled vegetables. The caption to this image reads: "Preparing fu fu (native food.)" This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital, run by the Methodist Missionary Society.
