I love the way that they celebrate any festivals, weddings, funerals etc by having the whole village cook and eat together, also inviting any passing outsiders like me to join them. Not much time left to waffle about it on the internet!
Food is even more central to their lives than to us here on eG. They have to plant it, harvest it, store it or preserve it, cook it and then happily eat it. The nearest supermarket is a day trip away at best, even if they could afford it. Everything they eat, they produce. To do so they must do it together. It's a hard life. Planting and harvesting rice, for example, is back-breaking. But I see more smiles than I ever see in the supermarket.
