These are some slides concerning food and food preparation. Traditionally food was cooked in an underground oven (umu). The last slides show a modified example of this, except a large truck (WWII tank?) wheel is used instead of a hole in the ground. In 1980-87, most food was fried. A main reason to keep pigs is to provide grease for frying.
