My iPad suggested I read a Tweat by Kaz.

This seems a parallel universe of language. Please can someone tell me what FUFU and FUMBWA mean? I have made some wild guesses but I suspect they are are overly offensive.

Whilst at it, are there other terms I shall come across for which some advanced intelligence would be helpful?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=fufu+meaning

A thick, doughlike West African food made by boiling and pounding a starchy vegetable such as yam, plantain, or cassava.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=fumbwa+meaning

Fumbwa is the Congolese word for wild spinach and is used to make Fumbwa leaf stew, a creamy stew with a unique combination of peanuts and red palm oil.

fufu
ˈfuːfuː/
noun
dough made from boiled and ground plantain or cassava, used as a staple food in parts of West and central Africa.

Urban dictionary tells me it also means vagina or scumbag.

Fumbwa seems to be a green vegetable cooked in peanut sauce.

Surely there must be some obscure football or sporting connotation or even just a social implication.

If I am honest, the recipe suggestions don't sound over inviting, I think I would prefer Nandos as well.

I've eaten fufu, certainly takes some getting used to. Largely impossible to swallow first time you try it

Please confirm whether you are referring to the Urban Dictionary reference or not? If so, in this scenario 'eat' is not used literally!
