content: Edited film: includes the entire process of preparing this pandanus dish beginning with the men who harvest the pandanus fruit in the bush near the village of Buariki. The women of the village cut the fruit, steam it in an earth oven, and knead the resulting mash into flat cakes. The cakes are placed in a bake oven overnight and then set out in the sun for about two weeks. After another brief period in the oven the hard cakes are broken up and pandanus leaf packages are filled with the pulverized substance.
