What Food Myth Have You Been Told? by Draslo(m): 8:46pm On May 16, 2021
I love okra so you can imagine my horror when years ago, my folks came and said we couldn't eat it anymore after the sun had set. This was an instruction from a white garment church. It is also a popular myth that okra neutralizes juju. Also, Muslims don't eat pork because the pig is deemed unclean.

Which one do you know?

Why the heavens went up
When the world was peaceful, angels and human stay together, and no one works because food was very sufficient, like all over the place, so the rules is so don't leave any leftover always finish the food on ground before midnight, so a pregent, went ahead and took many food and was not able to eat the food and she slept off and she did not tell other people that there is a leftover,so the next day, God was very angry, and the heavens went up.... So real right... grin cheesy

undecided



Mango and coke can kill instantly. I haven't tried it though and won't either.

It doesn't look like a good combo to me

Okro is my all time fav so anyone who tells me not to eat it is just wasting their time. Even the catfish sef is a delicacy i indulge in once in 3 or 4 months. Abeg YOLO cheesy
