RE: A Walk by the Well and a Very Lucky Escape
Very interesting. How come you didn't know? It feels a bit like the cashew nut. It makes me wonder how people figured out it could be consumed under certain circumstances.
It is interesting (although I don't think I can ever eat it with my low tummy endurance )
Even though Ekiti is my origin, I was only here as a kid, so I don't really know much about fruits that grow here. My mum also thought it was cashew, but my landlady (I actually refer to her as my grandma) has a cashew tree behind our house.
I don't know how they figured that out, but someone must've undergone the pain since it's been existing here for years.
(Just remembered that I didn't see this kind of fruit the time I came here as a kid to visit my dad's home town.)
Have a nice day @wakeupkitty
So you didn't eat the fruit? I thought I red you did. I assume eating cashew and this fruit must have been a coincedence. I remember in the old days they only ate fruit that fall off the tree (or you shook the tree). Most likely this fruit is the best. These days I only see unripe fruit, picked to early and it lost all its taste.
I am sorry to hear you have a low tummy endurance.
Lucky you, those kids warned you and didn't watch from a distance how you suffered.
A happy, healty day!
Yeah, I didn't eat the fruit (last time it was a vegetable that got me in the bathroom for almost 24hrs; couldn't take the risk now that I'm in exam period and I'm not sure I'll be able to, after reading those notes online). It has to open on the tree first; if it falls before then, it's relatively useless unless there's something else they use it for. I'm really glad the kids warned me. I'll stick to healthy fruits and veggies I know for now.
A happy and healthy day to you too.
