Description
Note: Als Nr. 31 publiziert im Album 'Achtzig Ansichten von der Goldküste (Westafrika) nach Originalaufnahmen des Missionars Fritz Ramseyer', Neuenburg 1895. - Bildlegende im Album: "Ein Pisangbaum. - Die Früchte, die oben an dem Baume hängen, sind nicht die gewöhnlichen Bananen, die, wenn reif, roh gegessen werden, sondern die längern Bananen, Pisang genannt, die, ehe sie ganz reif geworden sind, gesotten und in Mörsern zu einem Teig gestampft werden. Diese Klössen Teig sind der Fufu, der mit einer sehr gepfefferten Suppe gegessen wird." Note translation: Published as no 31 in the album 'Achtzig Ansichten von der Goldküste (Westafrika) nach Originalaufnahmen des Missionars Fritz Ramseyer', Neuchâtel 1895. (RI). - Caption there: "A plantain tree. The fruit hanging high on the tree is not a normal banana, which can be eaten raw when ripe. They are the longer bananas known as plantains, which are boiled before they are quite ripe and pounded in mortars to dough. These clumps of dough are what people here call fufu, which is eaten with a very peppery soup."
