'No one ever puts Baby in a corner'

C2H5OH:

Mango I stopped eating that thing when tha black singing kokoro started coming out of it.

C2H5OH:

It's true now. Abi oo, I wasn't the only kid in the neighborhood that went looking around for dry mango shells to break open. If you were lucky you would find at least two of those black singing kokoros. You encase them in your pali ishana, you shake it and the kokoro begins making tat noise.

@ C2H5OH, u re really funny!!! it's been so long that i heard of singing kokoros, although i must admit they never ever sang to me funny though, it must be some kind of myth that the ants that comes out of a rotten mango will sing to entertain you (rolls on the floor with laughter)

@ EPI, thanks ever so much for the article!! it was very enlightening

i think i know what category to place my self now, that will be the 'total body committment'. i just [b]descend on the mango like there is no 2moro [/b] or as my granny says, "as if that is the last mango available in the market".

i always leave the skin out but suck on the seed until it is as white as snow then start picking my teeth

i had some mangoes yesterday from sainsburys, i was not impressed

brein:

@iice u're funny.
@cicibola, dont tell me u've never heard of or tasted Breast Mango b4, ask d typical 9jian to tell u more abt it.
I can go on and least a number of 9ja mangos.

i haven't heard about breast mangoes oooo, and i spent most of my schooling years in 9ja as well,
oh well i am looking forward to having some boobs mangoes this summer when i go to 9ja!! hurray!!!

brein:

No body made mention of 'Ogbomoso Mango' that my best mango also Breast Mango somtimes.

breast mango ? what the heck is that now oooo?? i have heard of ogbomoso mangoes though, they are nice

tpia:

I eat snail oh!

In fact, I was just reading on bbc today, that the Brits are banning snails imported from Nigeria (assuming they werent banned before). The people there better start looking at how to organize snail farms, or else get the tiny ones from France.

banning snails?? oh dear! loads of businesses in London may close down in that case and snails will even be more expensive Come to think about it. I may start my snail farm here as well, more money in my pocket,

@tpia i am happy to hear that you not only eat snails, u also research on how they are imported, well done

water

although i just had a very satisfying piece of cake and a decaf capuccino! that was lovely!

SeanT21:

Dont everyone eat the mango skin.I know damn well I do!!

LOL! u are indeed the true son of the soil!! undiluted africana,

*Hauwa*:

that name na showbanka osisi as in gun or osisi as in tree (iroko) or mighty tree. na you biko

yeah i like kerosene mango. after taste is wierd though.

i think Sherry is one great mango out of africa. never hook your teeth. what is the english name for it? it is only common in the west right? esp Ibadan. yes!! Ibadan got great Sherry mango. i never got tired of it at all. i miss it so much. it is the best of all mangoes. the mango on the first post is great during summer. just slice off and crunchy yoyo

Tpia, i really need to get karma to visit my kitchen . she go love food.

Do you eat snail @ Tpia

Hauwa, u can analyse mango ooo!!! kai starting from the kerosene mango to the sherry mango u even gave us the state of origin of the mango, the texture in the mouth and the taste!

@epi - i will do some research as well, if i see anything about BVI island sun, I will let u know



@ OSISI!!! i think we are family, lol

DeReloaded:

Tpia you wan kill me. Snail?

*gags*

DeReloaded, u don't eat mango or snail ; what do you eat then?

**osisi:

The types of mangoes(at least what we called them as kids)

.German Mango (usually very big in size)

Opioro mango (long and thin)

Kerosene mango

then ordinary mango,the real juicy one that the juice will be running down your arm and flies will be chasing you and you'll spend 30 minutes afterwards picking your teeth

ate the skin of the last type I described (as a kid).
I still like mangoes


Hate mango juices though

kerosene mango? osisi that sounds more dangerous than delicious,

the last mango u described is the best, it's just that teeth-picking after that makes u forget the fun you got from the original mango itself and the skin of that one is like chewing rubber!


ps: osisi, i know this is completely off-topic but in Edo, ur name means 'gun' do u know that?

hey epi!
i have been waiting for the article on mangoes that ur mum wrote, If you can, do post it thanks

Badriyyah:

lol, Yeah, I eat the skin, but only from the tree in my house.

u sure do put a lot of trust in the mango tree in your yard! I will have the skin of the mango if it tasted of honey i don't mind the trees

d_m:



I will squeeze, bite, chew, leak, and suckle it nice and juicy til i swallow the seed



whats ur dirty mind thinking?!? I mean the mangoes o!







so I guess that will break any juju they have done

d_m, why are u so spoilt, heh?

tpia:

I dont eat the skin. Never knew you could either.

Now if it were oranges, I can eat the rind next to the skin.

u eat orange rinds?? that is very very bitter!

d_m:

is that the one next to ota farms? no worries me am friends with the guy.

ahh, omo babalawo! i heard they even use the skin of mangoes for their sacrifice!

amazing stories, but i'm really scared now!!
i am scared enough for allthe mothers-to-be on Nairaland, lol

it's well

d_m:

OMG this mango is looking nice. pls where is your farm? may be i can come by to filch some.

the farm is in the deepest forest in Ogun State, next to the babalawo's yard

*Hauwa*:

yes i do. when i don't eat the skin, i get purged.

i sure miss SHERRY mango.

OMG! u just reminded me of 'sherry' mango!! When i was young i used to say that the skin of a sherry mango was like that of an 'oyinbo' person lol

my grandma says that she purges as well except if she chews the skin.

epi:

yes, (ripe mango) We call that mango in the pic "grafted mango"

grafted mango sounds exotic, yum i don't think u can eat the skin of that mango in the picture tho,
the only fruit that i eat the skin of is "agbalumo"

my mouth waters just thinking about it,

Moyola:

Ewww! i dun lyk mango!

I don't like mango juices, horrid!

Hey Guys,

don't be shy 'cos i have seen some of you eat the skin of a mango 

so if u do, tell us what you gain from it; is it enjoyable?

if u don't, i understand cos i don't think mango skin taste as good as  the fruit itself,

so share your thoughts!!

I started having poket money from the age of 10 because i was in boarding school ,
normally, it was a fairly huge amount and i squandered it all on ;Dcowbell milk but i gradually learnt how to 'economise' and saved as well, maybe 10 is the right age,

WTF?

and why is this in the politics section?
weird!!!!

But seriously, 2 guys tongue kissing? Thank God he hasnt let my eyes see such!

@ topic, another thing u will see is the papers' headline saying that a boy of 13 is now a father, u will see men shaking bums when walking and if u re un/lucky a tranversite!

to be fair though, u will see better roads , functioning street lights and babies in buggies (pushchairs/pram)

tboy1:

You shuld have gone straight to the point instead of using style style to ask dis question
Well yes, you will see all sorts - Some of em will shock u at first but you'll get used to it

N.B
I've seen 2 dudes tongue kissin and touchin each other right in front of me - On the train
