    The fruit of this tree is inedible yet commonly used as an ingredient of an alcoholic beverage and is also used by a group of women as a cosmetic. Where is this tree found and what is the local translation for the fruit itself?

    		Well, this must be the fruit of the South African sausage tree, used for beer and translated as "fat tail of a sheep."

    I must admit that "fat tail" does suggest a certain, potentially useful moisturizing quality. But how does it smell?

    		Smells kinda funny. It is good for skin lesions and the like. I wouldnt go so far as to say it is good for skin cncer but with dry scaly skin that doesnt respond to more commericial products it works wonders.

    		And of course it's the sausage tree, Frankie, Nice One.

    Not sure whether I'd want to squeeze one of those on my face but I'm sure it appeals to some..
