Egus Pudding

Flavor and texture
  • Flavor: The flavor profile is savory, spicy, and nutty. A strong smoky flavor comes from the use of smoked meat, fish, or crayfish. Other ingredients like peppers, ginger, garlic, and seasoning cubes add layers of complexity and spice.
  • Texture: The texture is moist, springy, and sponge-like, with a firmness similar to a cake or flan. It is often studded with chunks of smoked fish and meat, providing a contrast in texture. 
Key ingredients
  • Ground egusi: The foundational ingredient. These seeds come from a species of melon/gourd and have a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Protein: Common protein additions include smoked fish (such as hake), crayfish, and chunks of beef.
  • Spices and aromatics: Hot peppers (like scotch bonnet), ginger, garlic, onions, and seasoning cubes add heat and depth of flavor.
  • Stock and eggs: Beef or fish stock adds moisture and flavor, while eggs help bind the mixture together. 
Cultural significance
In Cameroon, egusi pudding is considered a valued delicacy, often served on special occasions like traditional weddings, fundraisers, and other celebrations. Historically, it was seen as a dish of honor prepared for important men in one’s life.
