Some things that are food to some societies are not necessarily a discovery based on ingenuity but on situational conditions.

That is why Africans can "discover" that a leaf called "BITTER LEAF" is actually SWEET.
Not because they undertook any research, but because they were HUNGRY.

Does this even make sense?

Èbuzu

One man food is another mans poison

Though I saw childhood friends eating it back then in my neighborhood but I never tried it because I get easily irritated.....There was a day one of my friends removed the legs and started eating it raw.

I ran home and started vomiting. ......Tega you nor well.
