Pepper, onion, carrot, spinach, cabbage, garlic, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes. It’s all found in the field behind our house that our friendly neighbours have given us permission to use. If we don’t find what we are looking for here we can buy from another neighbour that produces tomatoes and corn surrounded by tea-trees. It won’t be any problem to survive as a vegetarian here! I got quite excited about the “suku ma wiki”; some green leaves made with salt and milk. They told us it meant “pushes the weak”, and I believed the name pointed towards the energy and strength you would feel after eating it. The other day we ate it again and my interpretation was declared false. The real translation was “pushing the week”, meaning that the meal is an everyday, unexciting stomach filler. The name pays no just to the taste!
Avocado, mango, fresh coriander and other kinds of green leaves and herbs that will be found on our dinner table the next year can be bought from the small stands in town. Cooking advices are included in the price!
