    I ate these a lot as a child cause my aunty and uncle had 2 or 3 apple trees in their yard. I have to confess that I don't know what it is called in Yoruba. I grew up in Lagos and I have to admit that I never had the Yoruba name.

    Thank you Mr or Mrs anonymous! I had one of those exact trees near my house and remember the sweet pink fruit but not the name. If you would put your name on the comment so we know who you are...

    You missed the answer in my last email to all.The answer is ita , pronounced "E as in the letter e, and tar' E tar", according to the Babatundes,the originator of the quiz. Thanks to all for participating in this quiz.
