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.

When it comes from an African, your people label it as laziness or hunger. But when it comes from your so-called masters, you call it smartness. That’s the result of a brainwashed mindse.

We call it Irẹ

In my language Etsako is called Osami

Yoruba calls it Irene,in ijebu they call the mall laganran,due to it's shrill voice while the female is called lahutu,we normally dig their holes to catch them

Damn🤦‍♂️ Just went through the whole thread and I couldn’t find my statesman. We’re truly minority or it doesn’t just have a name where I’m from. I’ve seen it once or twice in my village but I haven’t tasted it and don’t know the name🤷‍♂️

To call this anything less than research is to dismiss a profound, evidence based knowledge system. Our ancestors weren't just hungry they were ingenious scientists operating with the highest possible stakes. They developed a refined methodology to distinguish food from poison, a methodology that was passed down through generations and forms the foundation of the culinary knowledge we have today.

So, the discovery that a bitter leaf could be processed or prepared to be sweet wasn't an accident of starvation. It was the result of meticulous observation, experimentation, and the courageous, cumulative work of generations who refused to let hunger be the end of their story, but rather the beginning of their understanding.

No, but local restaurants sell prepared one

We do eat it and I have eaten it before. Those days we visit the village farm as a kid just to eat pounded yam and rabbit.
