RE: PHOTOCHAIN Challenge TESTNET - Edition number 71 [ENG | ITA]

in Italylast month

So not you but your hubby has the great ideas. If you won it was him. You are lucky he is stalking you. LOL
Great shoot btw and that tree won't go anywhere. Seems what was attached to it is gone. I hope that chain doesn't hurt the tree if it grows and kills it on long term.
Did you eat the peanuts? A good day to you and your hubby.

Sort:  

That's not the peanut, it's called tamarind 😁 this one probably from Africa because it has short pod, the taste was sour, but I managed to finished it though

 last month 

So the tamarind grows at a tree and drops on your head and the peanut underground. We had sour grapes due to the soil but the leaves tasted good. What is the taste like if not sour?

The Thailand variety of the Tamarind fruit is so sweet you can skip the sugar in your coffee and just nibble on the fruit while drinking your coffee ☕️

But here in our country, the variety is the sour kind and you can make a bet with anyone that he will surely grimace at the sourness after eating it and win.

Yes, the tamarind, also known as sampaloc here in our country, grows on trees. Huge trees. There's a couple of trees in front of my grandson's school and I took a photo of part of it with the fruit.

You nibble on the fruit while drinking like others take a cookie. How big is that fruit like kiwi or plums or smaller? Now I wonder if I saw it before. I'll check. Thanks for the info. A good day. I'm off.

That's just to illustrate how sweet it is. Of course, no one that I heard of ever did that lol. It will make them look wierd. The fruit is probably thumb sized, some longer than others.

Good day to you too 😊

Why do you have the sour kind?
I have the sour cherries but must say by now I am used to it and don't consider it sour.

Sugar in your coffee is unhealthy!

🍀♥️

Thanks @wakeupkitty and @steemcurator08 for brightening up my day 😊

Our Tamarind here in the Philippines has always been of the sour kind. It is used mainly as an ingredient to a popular sour stew or what we call "sinigang". Everyone loves sinigang here in our country lol. Not all varieties, though, are of the sour kind. Some have manifested sweetness which I think the Thais realized and propagated until this new one replaced all their sour varieties.

I haven't tasted sour cherries but I am sure that if it were readily available here, it will be used as an alternative to tamarind in making sour stew 😜

They say that Stevia is a healthier option than sugar. It is as sweet and is natural. Only drawback is it's quite expensive. So sugar still remains popular and indispensable, especially with coffee ☕️ 😋 😏

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettt... you gotta try tamarind from Thailand, it's so sweet that you'll miss the real taste of tamarind which mostly sour

I 1000% agree!!!! It is sweetness fruitified 😁
