Don't bring back memories o! My mouth don dey water LOL [list] [li]Agbalomo (aka star apple)[/li] [li]Manpower (roasted dry maize - until someone brought for me last week, I hadn't had any since 1993!!) When I go, maize is usually out of season (note I call it maize and not corn, which is what many pple from my experience back in naija are calling it, like oyibo )[/li] [li]Grade 1 mango[/li] [li]Guava[/li] [li]Periwinkle in the shell (that de-shelled stuff isn't the same)[/li] [li]Pounded yam prepared in a mortar[/li] [li]Grapefruit with husk so thick and sweet, u can eat it too [/li] [/list] I will stop for now. Most of these, sure, are in the states, but nothing beats that home flavor (dust, look, feel etc), sho gbo? |
