Description

Tsimbo is bringing fire wood, a huge bamboo trunk that she balances on her head. Bernadette, Pauline, and Bvuraga break the bamboo apart by hitting it with the back of a machete or sticks. Some bamboo pieces are brought to the burning kitchen fire and added to the burning wood. The children explain that there is breadfruit in the pot on the fire that is cooking. Ngolo and Aminu lift the lid off the pot and carry the heavy pot to the side. They remove the banana leaved that covered the breadfuit pieces under the lid. Aminu tries the cooked breadfruit and then starts distributing it into different pots and bowls for different people. Poga comes and helps her and Ngolo. Aminu's daughter Linda starts eating breadfruit with boiled palm nuts. Aminu shows how breadfruit and palm nuts are eaten together. Also the other children start eating and also Piano gets his share. After the pots are empty, Ngolo shows how she cleans the dishes with a bundle of grass and water, while Poga is pounding cassava in the background.
