  • After exploring Bandarawela town with the scooter, next, I moved to the town called Haputale. As part of the exploration, I did little shopping in the bazaar, talk to the locals, and even get invited to the lunch in the family.
    After the shopping part, I realized how many locals chewing some plants, and I was really curious about it so I gave it a try. Did I like it? Did I feel anything? You need to see the video to find out :)

      It's called eating betel nuts, it's like smoking some cigarettes, it's a habit, it's really not wise to eat too much, and it's not good for your teeth either. Some people get drunk when they eat betel nut, betel nut and lime should be chewed together and spit, only if the saliva is swallowed will they get drunk. It is better to make the mouth red and the teeth black.

    Luckily they didn’t add dried tobacco leaves. Normally people chew betel quid adding betel leaves, areca nut, slaked lime (calcium hydroxide paste) and dried tobacco leaves.
    Betel chewing now remains mainly a habit of the elderly in rural areas.

    You are a kind and nice man Davud. Now most of the Sri Lankans like myself have addicted to see the next video. What you ate is a traditional bite eaten after meals. When visiting people after a tea,breakfast lunch or dinner we offer them. It's mostly used in urban areas. Beatle leaves,arecanut,lime and dried and processed tobacco leaves are added. Don't eat this again as you are not used to it.It is just like smoking and using chewing gum.

    You ate a betel leaf with a piece of arecanut. But some other foods that should be eaten with tea are cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, flakes, coriander, arecanut. These spices are also effective medicines for various ailments. The betel leaf created in this way can be identified as Saravita. In the past, eating this betel leaf minimized the oral diseases of the aborigines. Ginger slices and cardamom seeds grown in the garden, but today the traditional betel nut is gradually changing.

    Chew the betel quid (with other ingredients) for some time and spit red saliva. After sometime doing that, throw away the entire chew/ pulp and wash ur mouth. That areca nut ( betel nut) makes you high. Another ingredient is dry tobacco, luckily they didn't give it to you which makes you severely high.

Or he pronounces fruit like Fru-it when it’s more like the word scoot or boot. But I also noticed all these shops he goes to they all pronounce Nike the same way as Davud as well. Must be an overseas thing cuz it’s pronounced Ny-key.
