After choosing the Project Manager you want to be, you have to choose your diet.
Because, for people without food, the best way to make you honor is to offer you food.
I've mostly met with goat, as the dead meat I told you about.
But also Tsampa, barley roasted flour mixed with butter tea to make sticky balls to relish, Plof rice with carrot and chickpeas cooked in goat fat or Fried Bananas.
And barrels of alcohol.
Tibetans dink Chang. Kind of barley beer, sour and sweet at the same time. And to prove the respect they have for you (the Water Bringer) they smear some home-made-remarkably-dirty butter over the edge of the cup. Well you get used to everything, even to greasy beer. The problem is you have to sip three times and then drink the whole cup. This ritual for each family.
And you do not care about the dirty butter in the edge of the cup, because the families use to keep the Chang in old engine oil bottles.
Tajik people are Muslim Let's say that the women are obliged by the men to be more Muslim that the men are. Because women goes around chastely veiled, while men offer you bottles and bottles of vodka. And if are not able to drink it 'bottoms up', well, you are not so good as you pretend to be.
And Tanzanian, they offer you no alcohol, but they drink by their own, hiding the plastic bag mono dose of konyagi. No white is enough good to deserve it. Thanks God.
But they kill and flay a got almost for every meeting. They take the occasion to put together the community to cook as God commands. And in the meeting where food is foreseen, hundreds of people show up, and women prepare everything wonderfully, whit flowers, cloths, and washing hands facilities. And the men do speeches.
Never ending speeches which are translated with a 'He says Welcome'
The only place they never offer me food is Haiti.
They did not have at all.
