A West African food made from peanuts and cassava, often prepared as a paste or porridge-like dish.
From Yoruba or other West African languages; the word reflects traditional food naming conventions in Nigerian and surrounding regions. The exact origin is uncertain but likely comes from indigenous naming of the dish components.
This word captures how many traditional foods have names that are basically unknown outside their home regions—there might be hundreds of dishes like anounou that have no English Wikipedia entry but feed millions of people!
