I've never eaten snails, will never knowingly eat them. If one unknowingly eats them, you're supposed to induce vomiting. If you can't, you're to go for ceremonial cleansing.

Rubbish.

I eat anything I like/want.

chatinent:
¤ Nigga, personally I eat everything edible. I'm no traditional man.

Why do you guys like to be lawless in all aspects of your lives?
Simple informative thread, and interesting too.
Just taboo food and food items, ingredients, edibles and you just dey talk irrelevant things. Abi you no get town?

Google it.

There’s this insect we eat alive in my village during rainy season! It’s a taboo in the village next to us!

Ukwuani, So I have eaten snail �, heard it is sweet ... Was told it weakens a man, how true I don't know... Don't eat pigs and Ram as well

tpiar:


That's bitter yam, very tasty.

I'm not from your place, so I can eat it. You shouldn't, though.

lol... enjoy

It's considered an abomination to even bring it into the house of an owerri man.

We call it "UNA"

Which insect and where is that?

If you don't give details then it sounds like you're just trolling.

Lol. Abeg where you want see the lion? I think we too don't eat lion cause it's our reincarnate.

nlPoster:
In parts of Ijaw land, eating snails is taboo.

never heard of this before

Bush rat. Ondo people are forbidden.

Due to that, I've only eaten it about 5 times in my life, the last one was one within our compound a few years ago. . Those things are very big.

Adamawa state. Michika LGA to be precise........

tpiar:
No offtopic please.

I'll be reporting such.

@ miqos and buygala.

How is my comment off topic?

"It's tasty" is different from "it's sweet".

Something can be tasty without being sweet.

Bitter leaf is tasty, it's not sweet.

cococandy:


If you don’t do any of those things, will anything happen?

Purely curious

Nothing will happen. Nigerians just like being superstitious.

Same way a lot of them say if you kill a duck that doesn’t belong to you,you must pay for it or bury it in a human way or else you’ll die or live a miserable life.

Africa is filled with useless,primitive,senseless and illogical traditions/customs.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, oye-ukwani
My Mother used to say its forbidden in Ukwani, bla bla bla bla

I forbid snake and cat by tradition. I don't eat ogbonor or okro soup by choice, I don't eat pounded yam nor drink tea by choice too. Never had golden morn, rice cripsy, corn flakes and its equivalents ( by choice too

Tweiker:


Hell, man who does

I know some do.

It's real "bushmeat" in certain parts of this country I hear.

In Ukwuani parts, it's believed eating snails can aggravate keloid it seems.

I think someone mentioned that on nairaland years ago.
