jennykadry: My maternal grandma made me drink from that whenever I visited her in the village and shocking the water was always so cold and annoyingly refreshing.....ewwww. Mama loved her life in the village this woman was a so no nonsense kind, like her daughter my mother.

My paternal grandma lives in my fathers house in the village so she got used to civilization very quickly seeing that we spent more time there....so nope she served us bottled water this grandma is so sweet and kind like her son my father.

simple question'watin una dey call?u bgin talk story

Me too done do thesame .

Tinyemeka:
The pot is semi-porous. Minute amounts of water percolate through the pot and evaporate taking away heat of evaporation from the water left in the pot.
Happens continuously so the water left in the pot cools over time.
And besides, the pot is usually kept in a cool, shaded place.

Thanks a lot for the scientific explanation. Does the percolation also purify? Any study on how long it takes for each degree of cooling and/or purification? A link will be highly appreciated.

joebases: Can't forget my days in my south eastern village where we call it ite

chaii warri this herb pot or what?

ikoko

My gradmother(of blessed memory) use it as a cooking pot
and same as other villagers.
When she prepare goat soup, bush meat or stew it taste very different and natural, compare to when u use sauce pan.
Here in Ghana, we have a different 1, we call it "cooler", for water.

My step mother uses it when she was alive, so whenever I visited her, I drank from the pot.

I never did...

Wow! I drank from it several times; cold and natural.... Its a true nigeria fridge...

My question is, why must it be that iron cup?

Randa in hausa. Coincidentally there is a village in my home local government called Randa.

bunmioguns: what do you call it in your native language?

Yoruba (Egba) call it Aamu (inside) or Ikoko (outside)



hope am correct?

i drank from that kind of pot just resently,n believe me it was cool*hail nature*

Each time I see my grand ma God bless you mama the water was sweeter than bottled water

I did. The water from it can be very cold.

Neva drank from it cos av neva been to my villa but God's grace next year i will try visit my villa.

joebases: Can't forget my days in my south eastern village where we call it ite

Villa things! We call it Udu and always hit the stream early morn morn to get fresh clean water to fill it up. Those were days!!!!! Times has changed!!!!

Last time was in Dec 1985 in my mama's village.
