A Feast for your eyes

[BOD]

One of my favourite things is to spend time on a jungle river at a nice camp site swimming, eating and just relaxing around the fire.

I’ve just come back from such a trip in Borneo and so I’d like to invite you to join me on these riverbanks for a feast (for the eyes).

The real one tasted pretty good too.

I hope you enjoy it.

The general terrain

A Penan hunter offered us some Sambar deer which we bought for the next days meal

Kiba and Parang

The BBQ

Pink Coconuts

It’s not oxidasation. It’s that way as soon as you cut it.


Rice in Ginger leaf

More fish

Fish is easy to get if you know how. Punt, gather net, cast, paddle into back eddy and collect fish

Amazing scenery! Thanks for sharing. One of the things I always love about your posts is that I always see at least one thing I've never seen before.

Cast nets are awesome. I think they have since been outlawed in the state of Florida, but back in the 70s I saw them used with great effectiveness. At right times and in right places they are a very efficient means of putting a large number of fish on a table with minimal effort.

Thanks Brian. Was it the pink coconuts or the style of cast net fishing that was new to you?

Great post, Bod. I have some filipino friends here in the UK and they always have first dibs on the pigs head...They cannot understand my boiling it to make brawn...differing cultures are what keeps us searching...

The pink coconuts! I've seen cast nets used that way a couple of times in other films, just not in person.
