The Adventures of Vela
The Adventures of Vela | Albert Wendt
3 posts | 2 to read
Journey through the many stories and worlds of the immortal Vela - Vela, so red and ugly at birth they called him the Cooked; Vela the lonely admirer of pigs and the connoisseur of feet; Vela the lover of song maker Mulialofa the Boneman. Follow him down through the centuries on his travels, encountering the single-minded society of the Tagatanei and the Smellocracy of Olfact. Accompany him, too, as he recounts the stories of Lady Nafanua, the fearsome warrior queen, before whose powers Palagi priests and travelling chroniclers still bow down today.

Some rather alarming foot sole shapes in this epic poem that I've just picked up again.

Still reading tagged book.
For lunch today, I made Samoan baked fish from https://www.pacificislandfoodrevolution.com/recipes/nina--iggys-island-baked-fis... and Faalifu Fa‘i (green plantain in coconut cream sauce) from https://thekokosamoa.com.au/blogs/recipes/faalifu-fa-i-recipe-history-tips-servi...
Very nice!

Ruthiella You amaze me! It all looks so good. 😋 I can only just boil an egg! 😅 6d
Dilara @Ruthiella Well, if you want a recipe that is as easy as boiling an egg, the faalifu fa'i above is one: you boil plantains in their skins until they're soft, peel them, then place them in warmed-up coconut cream with or without diced onion. That's it! No salt, no sugar, no strange ingredients, and no particular skills required! 😁 6d

Started Vela, a long epic poem about the life and adventures of mythic Samoan poet Vela, written by Albert Wendt, #Samoa's best-known writer. It is peppered with Samoan words, and I'll just have to go with the flow, enjoy the poetry, and accept that I won't understand every single word or concept. Getting a general idea from the context and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_Samoa will have to do.
