Description

Angondi had gotten a couple of bamboo's for us so we could make mamuni with kongkong. This kind of mamuni is more common in Torokum and Evesil. They make tapiok mamuni here. We used small and big, white and red kongkongs. First we peeled them, and then grated them with a kanda. Some kids were summoned to get certain leaves to wrap the mamuni in. The top of the leaf was cut off. Then some big aibika leaves put on and the grated kongkong and then more kumu (crushed tulip and kru sako). The leaf was rolled up and folded together and put in the bamboo. When we ran out of bamboo Samuel went to get more. A fire was made and the mamuni was cooked on it. When it was time to eat, more people had showed up to eat with us.
