 enset or false-banana by sachara
The Dorze people have a special custom to use these false-bananas. Nowhere in Africa you can find these customs. They scrape the bast to to remove all fibre and gather the stuff to prepare a kind of bread.
At the picture you can see the wooden board, used for the scraping and making of a kind of white pulp. Leave a Comment

 making pulp of the enset by sachara
After scraping the bast she showed us, how she made pulp of it by chopping and beating, using a wooden board and a small bamboo trunk.
And as you can imagine, for the underlay she uses large banana leaves . Leave a Comment

 burying the pulp of the
enset by sachara
She brought us to the corner of her compound, where she buried the wrapped new pulp of the enset or false-banana in an underground pit for the process of fermentation. She showed us also the earlier buried wrapped enset pulp in different stages of fermentation.
I tried a bit of the most fermented stuff. It looked like dough and tasted like unleavened bread with a slight flavour of banana or maybe that was only imagination.
The Dorze people eat the ''banana-bread'' as staple. They can also make a chewy porridge of it. Enset can be stored for more than ten years. Leave a Comment

 pounding by sachara
At the restaurant of our campsite annex hotel in Arba Minch we saw this woman pounding.
It was very special, because I didn't expect, because all the food you could order was western style.
She asked us to try it. It's not an easy job, I knew allready. I like the way how they do it, especially with two together, in a very fast and energetic rhythm. Leave a Comment
