Cattle being one of the early animals to be domesticated thousand of years ago; there is special bonding between Humans and Cattle.

I want to share with you my favorite Dairy products as a The FULANI

I am inspired by @HiroyukiTakisawa #monthlytopic of November about Dairy Product.

You will all agree with me that Dairy products cannot come to be without Cattle. And My people (fulani) are cattle breeders from which all supplies of dairy products come from.

My Favorite Dairy Products:

We have different dairy products here in Nigeria that can be found in many places.

Fura da NoNo: this is a staple food of fulani (a locally made yogurt). The best gift of food a Fulani will give you is this. so nutritious and delicious. (it is my favorite food as a Fulani. lol).

A glass of Fura day NoNo

Madara (milk): this is another treat you can get in fulani land. You can drink it like that or use it to prepare other meals.

Milk ready for sipping

Manshanu (cheese) : this local cheese is so aromatic when you fry it and add some garlic and onions. It can be used to cook or add it to already cooked soup as garnish.

Tuwo with Spinach soup garnished with Manshanu.

I will leave you with these 3 of my favorite dairy products. If you find yourself in Fulani land give any of the above a trial and you will thank me later…

Kindest regards…

Fura De Nono is my favorite too. Why is this one plain? They did not add the Fura inside?

I love Tuwo but I haven’t tried this soup. @Sagir

Hello, @Sagir

Informative post! I’m so sad because I probably can’t find them in Japan. Is Madara just milk? At least, I hope to try Fura da NoNo and Manshanu someday. Thank you for sharing

Thanks @Ewaade_3A

This one in the picture is not mixed that’s why it’s plane. Please when ever you have chance give this tuwo a try is awesome.

@HiroyukiTakisawa San. Thanks for your kind words and motivation.

The milk is plane milk freshly from the cow.

I hope you one day get the chance to try them all.

Best regards

Is it not regular Tuwo?

Tuwo shinkafa?

Tuwo Masara? @Sagir

Sagir · November 25, 2021, 6:03pm

@Ewaade_3A

This is Tuwon shinkafa with Miyan Aleyaho (spinach)

You can garnish any soup with Manshanu and it will always taste great…

I think milk is one of the most universal things. Because there are many things to do. For example, yogurt is an invention of Turks and it is made with milk. It looks very delicious in what you share. I hope I may not say it one day. @Sagir

Sagir · November 25, 2021, 7:34pm

Thanks @Gezendunyali for your support.

I agree with you % milk is used in all corners of the world and in different kind of delicacies…

I hope you get to try all this one day…

Regards

Woooe. I must taste Manshanu next. Is it like ‘iru or ogiri’ locust beans? @Sagir

OlgaKlimchik · November 30, 2021, 4:28am

Nice post, @Sagir . I see, your people like dairy products in their natural state. We also like to drink pure milk (madara is pure milk, right?). And we like different yoghurts too. But yoghurt is not out traditional milk product, we drink soured milk (pure milk after staying during some period in warm place and becoming hard during fermentazing with milk bacteria, I haven’t photo by now, but hope you may understand what I say) or kefir, one more kind of soured milk, but using special kefir bacteria for fermentizing.

Do you make hard cheese also? Do you make cottage cheese?

MrFreez · November 30, 2021, 6:48am

@Ewaade_3A I’m sure you mean something like this

MrFreez · November 30, 2021, 6:55am

@Sagir i love fura da nono. Early this month i did a roas trip and stopped somewhere to have some of my favorite fura and nono.

Yes, Patto! Of the Most High @MrFreez

Happy Advent o. But, I have never tried directly from the Fulani o I usually get it from Habib Yoghurt. This is the one closest to me.

Sagir · November 30, 2021, 8:40pm

@Ewaade_3A no it’s not like that.

It’s like ororo.

Sagir · November 30, 2021, 8:44pm

Thanks for your comments @OlgaKlimchik

Yes Madara is pure milk.

Our nono is more like the soured milk because it also under goes the fermentation process.

We don’t do hard cheese but we have cottage cheese.

Kind regards.

OlgaKlimchik · November 30, 2021, 9:28pm

@Sagir Thank you for your answer. It’s interesting to compare.

Ewaade_3A · December 1, 2021, 3:00pm

I don’t get o? What is like Orono? The one I get from Habib? @Sagir

Sagir · December 1, 2021, 5:00pm

@Ewaade_3A the one you get at Habib is Nono .

Ororo I mean oil.

this is Manshanu… a raw one before it is fried.

Ewaade_3A · December 1, 2021, 5:05pm

Oh! I don’t know Manshanu but the type I am talking about is the one in Patrick’s YouTube video above. Only that they blend in the fura into the Nono in the blender @Sagir
