Foods - tane yi
- Obviously, the species of plants and animals that live on Litoria are not the same as those that live on Earth. I will, however, use English words to name the Litorian plants and animals that resemble their Terran counterparts.
- The men hunt for various reptiles and birds. When eggs are available they are collected.
- Both the men and the women glean from rivers, lakes and tidal pools: fish, crayfish, frogs, turtles. If the village is near the ocean, the villagers can find fish, crabs, oysters, and seaweed. If a sea turtle is sighted, the villagers will try to capture it. However, they are afraid of the various sea predators.
- Various roots and tubers, fruits and nuts, seeds and fungi are collected by the women. Eaten fresh at first, they are dried to keep over the dry season. There are a number of species of flowers that are edible.
- Grasshoppers, cicadas, locusts and grubs, when they are in season, are added to the menu.
- In the fall honey is gathered from wild bees. Various tree saps are also used as sweeteners.
- In the areas where they are available, cattails are harvested for their stems, leaf bases, flower spikes, pollen and rhizomes.
Beverages - ara yi
- If enough fruit is harvested, some of it is made into an alcoholic beverage.
- Tisanes are brewed from various species of leaves and flowers.
- Game is not dressed in the field so that the blood will be available for drinking to those back home.
Meals
- The Nuńwu eat two meals a day. Breakfast (yala tane) is eaten shortly after sunrise (savi uńna). Supper (hole tane) is eaten just before sunset (reva tane). These times take full advantage of daylight for work. A mid-day snack (wema savi tane), usually of fresh fruit or vegetables, may be taken, especially by the children.
- The Nuńwu eat while seated on the floor around a rush mat on which are placed the various foods of the meal.
- Dishes are made from wood, stone and bone. Coconut shells are frequently used to make cups/bowls.
- The only table utensil is the obsidian knife. There is plenty of obsidian (rona kaka) on the islands. Hands are used for every other eating task.
