The African locust tree, producing seeds which
the natives of Soudan roast, and then bruise and allow to ferment
in water until they become putrid, when they are carefully washed,
pounded into powder, and made into cakes, which are said to be
excellent, though having a very unpleasant smell. The pulp
surrounding the seeds is made into a sweet farinaceous
preparation.
