UDARA SEASON!!!!

Agbalumo is every ones favorite fruit. I am sure i have not come across anyone who dislikes this fruit. As a child my mother would buy a big basket full of Udara (as it is called in eastern Nigeria). My brother and I would rub it in between our palms,bite of the pointed side and suck the whitish juice. I cannot describe the good taste but thats the beauty of it. It reminds me of the earth, two poles but a virtual equator.
Not ready to eat Agbalumo can "slap" you (sour acidic taste) giving you a funny feeling in your jaws. Agabalumo with the strength to "slap" you cannot be differentiated from the tasty ones but this is a fruit every one craves for.
I bought  a poly bag full of Agbalumo on my way back from Osun state last weekend. We've all had something to snack on (lol) for two days now.
