As one may imagine when living in a new climate, he or she will encounter many new flora and fauna. As such, I have detailed my fauna discoveries (check out this little F***er I found stuck in a cobweb in my bathroom. I left him there for three days (he was stuck) before I made Joey throw him away - HE WAS STILL ALIVE) and so I feel I should also pay homage to some of the flora around here.
This is called a soursop. Nigerians pro- nounce it "show (like cow) - ah - shop." We found it rather tasteless and slimy. Apparently it has amazing medical benefits. Maybe we'll juice it.
Did you know that cashews grow on apples and you can eat the apple? We got really excited when we cut into the apple and it smelled like starfruit. Then we ate the fruit which soaked up every last bit of moisture our mouths. So we now know why those delicious little nuts are so expensive. First you have to remove the apple from the cashew, roast the cashew to get it out of its shell (because the oil between the shell and the nut is poisonous), and then roast the nut. Thank God for Planters.
