A Meal In Native Fashion July I, 1903-Yesterday we opened a school at the village of a chief named Siasia, and, when the ceremony was over, the chief asked us to honour him by partaking of a meal which his wife had prepared in our honour. Mr. Murray, always ready to have a laugh at my expense, accepted for us both. We entered the hut by the usual low door. In the midst of the hut burnt a cheerful fire-less cheerful, however, to me, as I found the sun quite warm enough, and no additional heat necessary. Chimney there was none, nor other outlet for the smoke but the diminutive doorway by which we had effected our entrance. We sat down upon a mat, and presently our smarting eyes grew somewhat accustomed to smoke and semi-darkness. Opposite to us sat the host, his face wreathed in smiles. Before us stood a basket with nsima (millet porridge) and a saucepan containing two roasted doves. A jar of water was then presented in formal fashion, and we washed our hands and gravely waved them in the air. Then we attacked our viands. You dig your fingers into the mess of pottage before you, roll a small quantity between your palms until it has attained the size of a ping-pong ball and the consistency of a dough-nut, and toss it down your throat. You then tackle the dove, tear off the tastiest morsels, dip them into the sauce, and drop them into your mouth. Meanwhilea few pecking chickens and hungry dogs have entered through the hospitably open door, and are ready to remove your scraps as expeditiously as possible, there being neither table nor plate nor basket to receive the fragments. At the end of that memorable meal I was far more urgently in need of a basin of water than I had been at its Books, History~~General, Thousand-Miles-In-The-Heart-Of-Africa~~Johannes-Du-Plessis, , , , , , , , , , General Books LLC<
