Amajikijolo esihlahleni se-bramble. Ezinye zezithelo sezimnyama, ngakho-ke usungazikhetha.
Ijikijolo yisithelo esibuye sibala phakathi kwamajikijolo. Amajikijolo ezimakethe zethu avela ezindaweni ezinkulu. Kodwa futhi zikhula zasendle. Ngemva kokuqhakaza, amajikijolo aluhlaza, aphenduka abomvu, futhi ekugcineni abe mnyama. Kulapho-ke esevuthiwe.
Udla amajikijolo amnyama kanjalo nje, ku-dessert noma njengojamu. Amaqabunga esitshalo angomiswa futhi asetshenziswe njengetiye. Emandulo futhi kamuva kwakunenkolelo yokuthi ijikijolo laliyisitshalo sokwelapha. Zathathwa lapho isisu sibuhlungu, noma lapho isinye noma izinso zigula.
Akhula kanjani amajikijolo?
Sonke isitshalo sibizwa nangokuthi amajikijolo. Ekuqaleni zivela eMpumalanga Yurophu, kodwa zingatholakala naseNyakatho Melika nase-Asia. Zikhula zasendle kodwa zibuye zilinywe nasezinkulisa. EYurophu kuphela kunezinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-2000 zamajikijolo. Izitshalo zamajikijolo zinameva, yingakho izithelo zibuye zibizwe ngokuthi “amadebe” kwezinye izindawo.
Amajikijolo amnyama akhula njengehlumela ngalinye elivela emhlabathini. Amathenda angakhula ngamamitha ambalwa ubude. Zakha ihlathi elingangeneki phansi. Kodwa futhi bayathanda ukukhuphuka ezinye izitshalo futhi babambelele kuzo ngomgogodla wabo. Abheke phansi futhi enza ama-barbs. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amahlumela asemaceleni amila emathangeni njengamagatsha esihlahleni.
Amajikijolo alahlekelwa amaqabunga ebusika. Amahlumela amasha akhula entwasahlobo. Yakha izimbali ezimhlophe-pink. Izithelo zikhula kulezi zimbali futhi zingavunwa kusukela ngoJulayi kuya ku-Okthoba. Izimpande ezintsha zamajikijolo zingakhula embewini.
Kodwa amajikijolo anendlela elula yokusakazeka: uma ihlumela lilenga phansi futhi lithinta umhlabathi lapho, kwakheka izimpande ezintsha, bese kuvela isitshalo esisha samajikijolo. Emahlathini nasemaphethelweni ehlathi, ngakho-ke angakwazi ukuthatha izindawo eziningi kakhulu. Kufanele uzinqume uma usanda kutshala izihlahla ezintsha. Futhi engadini, kufanele uqaphele kakhulu ukuthi amajikijolo angakhuli yonke into.
