2,when boiling corn/maize,don't add salt,cause it will never done..
3,when cooking,don't taste it with spoon(this is for the male),otherwise your nipples will be like that of little girl developing breast.
4,when boiling strong meat,put nail to soften it..lols
5,a young lady that taste the spoon while cooking,hardly get married...
6,too many cooks spoil the food...
7,foods prepared with fire wood,is tastier than the one's prepared with gas,stove and the rest..
8,when you use onion in preparing soup,it gets sour in the next few hours....

MrRhymes101: when removing the feathers of a chicken, don't make noise or they grow back

This is true...to an extent.
If you keep talking while removing feathers from chicken so sort very tiny hair-like stuffs tend to resurface on the chicken's skin.
