Part 2 review

In this part, the author Harriert writes about game, or hunting for food.

All the names of food is unfamiliar and it is hard to get the idea, but here are some names they gather to eat.

Watom coming the most gathered food, and Kwemnok, which I never heard before.

After some googling, I think watom is a type of berry,
As for kwemnok, I have no idea and i was not able to find out what it is,

The book uses so many jargon and readers need knowledge of that part to truly understand the book.

Anyway, the book also tells us about how Saltaman hunts too. One interesting point is how woman hunt.
They do not have access to bows and such, they lunges to catch their meals. A bakhonkaak, a creature that has sharp crow are captured by woman. Where man hunts for bigger games.

Book Review Food Rules: Hunting, sharing, and Tabooing game in Papua New Guinea

Hello all, I will be redoing my book review with Food Rules written by Harriet Whitehead.

This book was quite a surprise in a way that it covers more on a society side revolving around food.
Such as man takes food before woman and such.

The book is more of a an essay rather than a educational book out in markets.

Anyway the first Part is about rule that surrounds tribes those are "Dominated by a food complex" (Pg.42)

However the whole affair is extremely complicated, and they dictate what to eat, even when woman is pregnant.

I find it interesting that they made that culture, how it formed.

They even have a raid party called Biis, and they kill people for not sharing what they have got. It sound barbaric but it is very complicated that I was not able to understand fully.

Anyway this is part 1 review I was able pull out.

Enjoy
