Thx for worrying about my future Kids, but they would be blessed to inherit of my beautiful naps they won't need curly/oyinbo hair

why did u do such things tho? it wasn't cool at all

Sybellah: Who knows about this fruit? We call it Cocota in CIV, and I think Mad in Senegal, it is delicious How u guys call it in your region?

Made!!!!

thiendella:
Made!!!!

This fruit is the bomb! (c'est doux deh)!My favorite. We call it cocota or zaman/zaban (in Dioula), do u also use it for chew-gum? aha

sambos994:

Cool.

Its all good in the hood.

As for the fruit posted here: They have it in Gambia as well, my husband and baby loves it. For me, not too much

scam artists ...you have ruined a perfectly educational oppertunity to see the alternative dishes to eating what your kind typically eat; monkeys, snails, and fufu

haha plus que doux!!! In senegal we just cut off the top and add salt, sugar and chili powder. It's sooo tasty!
You can also boil it with a lot of sugar to make a confit

Is that what we call 'Agbalumo'? Are the seeds hard and dark brown?

JallowBah:

In Gambia, its almost always spicy. Almost to the point where I can not eat it

But the attaya-tea/coffee is too damn sweet. Bah, it makes your teeth go brown in TWO months.

Lol @ brownteeth. I just looove spicy food.
Might need to try some gambian (fulani) food.

Fulaman198:

hmm depends on the food really, some is spicy, and some are sweet.

Jaloff rice can be spicy depending on how you make it, also Fulani couscous can be very spicy too.

Our deserts based on our milk can be very sweet.

We also have a special tea that we got from the neighbouring Touareg, which is the tea with mint, Fulani milk, and dates (raisins). I love it.

Yummy! Sounds good fula. later on im going to start a fulani food thread (dont want to come back to this one). I hope to be educated and to mend the little "drama" bttn us .

*Kails*:

You know....the inside looks like the udara I eat in my village. Is it by any chance chewy, like gum?

sambos994:

Olodo, that's agbalumo, which looks nothing like that

Sybellah:

Chaiiiii! i am not born westernized, but i have some kinda insect-phobia, just seeing those plate full of insects creeps me out i ll vomit my gutt out before even trying loool
Some people in CIV do eat it though, they call it ZAMALAN i think.

They're actually good. They taste like, but better than, dry crayfish.

I used to eat them raw without frying sef. Meh, I miss the good ol days when me and my cousins go out to the farm to hunt those delicious lil bug down. It was fun lol

Snails, more meat and they have this crunchiness (for lack of better description)feel to them. You know the feel you get when you eat chicken gizzard.

WTF is esunsun, Ileke!??...eewww

I agree, fried snails are d ish! Do they sell snails here?? How do u kill it and remove d shell?
U know in Nigeria, they buy it alive. I never watched the process of making it, all I cared about was d finished product....

Lol, did you grow up in the village? If not, thatz prolly why you dont know the tasty delight called esunsun

I've killed it and fried it with my cousins. There's this special ivory stone mineral we used to clean the slimes off. I used to lick the stone cuz that thing was tasty too

You buy them alive. And then u cut the head, remove the shell and clean them in tiedous or warm water to remove their "liquid-like glue thing" i don't know how to explain, their is this substance on them which make them slippery, if i remember that should be the process, umh Ileke? what do u think?

I grew up in Lagos oooo. I can't believe Ekiti ppl eat that! I'm going to ask my Dad, lol

They always go back into their shells anytime u touch them though, I imagine they would be really hard to kill........

U licked the slime off the stone??!! GOD!!
