Mumu


Men are responsible for heating up the stones in the fire.

A "mumu" is a big feast or celebration where the food is cooked in the ground. A pit is lined with banana leaves, red-hot stones are placed in the bottom, meat and veggies and fruits and greens are carefully arranged on top. Once all the food is in place, the banana leaves are folded over the top and everything cooks. CAUTION: a few of these pics might be a little much for pig-sympathizers.
