Betel Nuty......
Myself and Kunaun near Kali village, Manus Province, Papua New Guinea. After a long day of Beche-de-mer survey, we went up a river into a betel nut garden. The local boat support man gave this two bucnh before moving on to Mbuka.
Papua New New Guinea and some Pacific Islanders favourite old time snack, BUAI, DAKA na KAMBANG...Buai is the betel nut from the areca nut and the Daka is the mustard grown from vines, while Kambang is the lime crushed from the ashes of corals and shells of bivalves and strombus. The mixture of all the three gives a very distinguishably red colour.
