Sadza! Suggie (Pronounced Suji)

All over Africa ppl eat sadza. Its just how its made or what its made of that varies, from maize meal to green bananas! and cassava etc or whether its a daily meal or a delicacy. Here in Malaysia I discovered Suggie (Suji), I think its a nigerian name but the flour is readily available in shops so there must be a similar meal made from it in Bahasa Malaysia language. I had accompanied a colleague to a congolese friends apartment close to the campus. His from Congo, and he lived in Zimbabwe a little, and other Southern Africa countries, they eat Sadza as well in Congo but they mix maize meal with cassava flour. There we ate lunch of Sugie and Chicken. None of us knows yet what the flour (meal) for suggie is made from, they just buy by measure from the grocer. It tastes a lot like sadza but its denser and heavier with a distant mashed potato taste...
Will talk about Malaysian food soon. Fruit Juice and Sadza were just starters....
