Porter Impresses Native Farmers
During the course of conver
sation the subject of American
food came up. Although the
Tharus don’t drink tea he was
anxious to try coffee and hot
chocolate I was immediately
«ngaged to cook an American
meal as these people do not
bare any taboos about foreign
era or non-caste people cook
ing their food
I prepared a stew contain
ing a chicken, one head of
cauliflower, six onions, six
hard-boiled eggs, some string
beans, a handful of pulse and
enough nee to make the pot
full. (I don’t know how Ameri
can that is ) I used about one
fourth the amount of spice that
they use. I served oranges for
|tn appetizer and hot chocolate
fnr dessert This was new to
them as thev never eat fruit
wsth a me,il and the only
beverage is a home-made wine
on special occasions

things would turn out as I
am a tin-can cook at home
and I had a smoky wood tire
instead of an electric stove
They really enioyed it They
were surprised that food tould
have another taste besides hot
spice. I make this judgment
on the amount consumed and
not on what they said. My
host father felt like some of
us after a Thanksgiving din
ner but was feeling fine after
a few belches. In Nepal you
belch to show you have enjoy
ed a meal. <l’ll have to watch

One of the new things I
tried here W'as plowing w r ith
the oxen. They do not use a
mold-board plow because their
oxen are not strong enough to
pull one Instead they use a
metal tipped piece of wood
that penetrates the soil about
six inches They keep plowing
until the soil is fairly fine

removed by throwing the giain
into the air, if there is a
wind, or by throwing and
c,it<hing it in a laige tray r
made of woven bamboo strips
The dirt gradually works to
the top and is removed
Some rice Is threshed by
hand They hold a large bun
dle above their head and beat
the ground About three blows
will remove all the giain The
straw from this process is not
damaged and is used tor mak
ing mats and rope. The only
floor covering m many village
homes is the straw mat Many
times it serves as a bed also
The straw from the lormer
process is used for bedding and
todder in the cattle and buffalo
shed. The cattle aie used tor
power and the watei buffalo
lor milk in many places This
straw is not a good souue ol
nutrients and ncithei is the
pasture that they giaze
Cattle teed is a pioblem
her Cost of constnu tion and
equipment make silos impracti
cal. Hay would spoil during
the monsoon season, the
weather being so damp Irri
gated pastures would solse the
problem but irngalion is ex
pensive and the land is needed
for human food.
Efficient use ot grazing land
will be hard to achiete be
cause the Hindu religion will
not allow the inferior cattle
