content: From card: "Food basket. Use by men. "The sexes do not eat together. The woman brings her husband's plantains, cassava, maize, etc. to him in this basket. Meats, soups, etc. are served in the pot (Cat. No. 164,884) in which they were cooked. All food that can be so eaten is eaten with the fingers and what cannot be held in the fingers is eaten with a wooden spoon or more frequently with a leaf folded so as to dip up liquid. No table is used, the basket of food and the pot of meat or soup are set on the ground, the eaters sitting on low stools or benches.""
