oh maybe its in more than one place on earth... IDK Nigerian's just said it grew there so that was my first thought, you know like yams and root veggies that people brought with them?
Just found out it was imported but its doing great in Africa!

Couldn't stomach breadfruit
Maybe it was the way it was prepared

Afro, IDK if the kind you had is like ours, but if you know an Igbo person, ask them to make you "ukwa". It's soooooo good! There's a "soupy" way to make it and they can also roast it. I can kill a roach for this!!!!

gyaaallll the bammy can potentially kill you too. don't you know about that cassava?! Ive never heard of anyone dying from ackee, you may get sick but not die. the thing is once the ackee pod opens the poison gas is released and its fine to eat. Its only when some unscrupulous person pries it open to sell then there's a problem
IA and understand a visitor's and some locals hesitation/hatred of ackee- it's a bright yellow food and looks like placa-placa but the other type - the hard ackee can come out in pods.
NG here's the full story, it's funny.
