[center][/center]Fufu and okra soup from Tessey’s International Kitchen


The number of West African restaurants in the vicinity of White Plains Road along the 2 and 5 lines has multiplied lately, and Tessey’s International Kitchen is one of the newer ones. It features not only Nigerian food, but also soul food and Caribbean cooking, as well. Another admirable aspect is that most dishes come in huge portions, easily enough for a pair of people. Every day there are two or three dense Nigerian sauces, known as “soups,” to go with the humongous loaves of white yam fufu. The okra soup was particularly dense and viscous this past weekend, studded with salt cod and cow foot, the latter pleasantly chewy. Egusi soup made with crushed melon seeds was also available. The cost of soup and mash together was $20. I also ordered collard greens flavored with smoked turkey wing. It was memorable as well, and showed the fundamental connection between African-American and African food. 2542B White
