We were there in May, and I don't recall encountering the tsamma. https://www.atlasobscura.com/f...8b&mc_eid=8e1b7aaa56 There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | ||

Seen them, Bill, on a Namibian trip that included Sossusvlei. Also seen just south of Etosha pan at Byseewah Safaris. Did not look as lusicious as the illustration in your link. Regards, Tim | |||

No, but there is some kind of mushroom that grows in the Kalahari, that everyone got excited about and it became part of dinner. | |||

I have seen them. I remember telling my PH that they looked like pie melons which I used to see in southern Oklahoma. After seeing your post I googled “pie melon” and found this information: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citron_melon ____________________________________________ "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

The bushmen will also store water in buried empty ostrich shells. The grass they use as a stopper has some sort of natural preservative(?) that helps protect the water. Stuff is fascinating. | |||

I saw them in Botswana. Tried one, no flavor at all. I hunt, not to kill, but in order not to have played golf.... DRSS | |||
