Description: | Eine Frau besteckt grŸne PalmblŠtter mit Muschelschalen und trocknet sie in der Sonne. Mit trockenen PalmblŠttern umgeben, verschnŸrt sie sie zu einem Paket und verbrennt sie. Die zu ungelšschtem Kalk reduzierten Muschelschalen werden zerdrŸckt, angefeuchtet und in einen BambusbehŠlter gefŸllt. Dieser Kalk wird mit ArekanŸssen und Betelpfeffer zusammen gekaut.The burning of lime is a women's job. A number of green palm leaves is covered with shells and dried in the sun for a while. Then they are wrapped up in dry palm leaves and tied up in a bundle, which is burned. The shells, which are reduced now to quicklime, are picked out from the ashes, crushed in a bowl and carefully moistened. A man fills this lime in a bamboo container. In order to enjoy the betel, he takes lime with a spoon and chews it together with areca nuts and betel pepper. The woman and children are chewing betel as well. |
