    Food for Thought a Life in Four Courses

    Food for Thought A Life in Four Courses TRANSCRIPT OF PODCAST EPISODE 9: Bimal Giri Bimal Giri was born in Bhutan and grew up in Nepal. In this episode he talks to us about celebrations, festivals and the traditional foods of his homeland. Bimal: I‘m Bimal Giri, I’m 47. I was born in Bhutan, brought up in Nepal and currently living in Edinburgh, Scotland. My cultural, em, we are Hindu, mainly, mainly agricultural country where we source most of our foods from what we grow, and food is, em, one of the important, em, things that we consider. We consider food is a gift of God, or reward. We have to take it in a very peaceful manner, and the food has to be very, aah, nutritious, healthy. So it is in our top priority. Nepal is a small country, just twice the size of Scotland. But it is very much diverse. Em, our country is surrounded by Tibet and India, so we source food from these both countries and it influences our cuisine. So if we say, if we go to south part our cuisines are very much influenced by the Indian dishes like curries and chapattis and parathas kind of things, but if you go to north part it is pretty much like a Tibet or Chinese like momo, the steamed dumplings or some pasta or noodles. So it varies, but again the rich or well off people has, they tend to eat more, kind of, meat and dairy product. Whereas, ah, the other class who cannot afford those, they just live with vegetables, ah, rice and their main staple diet is the dal bhat which consist of rice, lentil and vegetables twice a day, and that’s the food they eat.

  • Compas: Supporting Endogenous Development

    Compas: Supporting Endogenous Development

    COMPAS: SUPPORTING ENDOGENOUS DEVELOPMENT Mr. Don Philoris Wijenayaka in his ceremonial dress carries out a ritual in a rice field. With mantras and sounds the water is chanted. The spirits of rats, mice, elephants and wild boars are asked to take no more than their fair share of the crop. Mr. Wijenayaka is the shaman, or the Kapu Mahattaya as he is called in Sri Lanka. In Sinhalese this means : the link between the spirits and human beings. Mr. Rukman Wagachchi of the Sri Lankan Network of Agri-Cultural Revival is taking part in this kem ritual. According to the owner of this field, there was less pest damage, lower costs and higher yields after the kem has been performed last season. This season, the farmer wants to observe more carefully and collect more accurate data. The tindana is the earthpriest among the Tallensi in northern Ghana. He exercises spiritual power, especially over land and sacred groves. Tribal people in India use gonads (chalk marks) to communicate with the spiritual world. As part of its traditional organisation, the community has special people, jilakatas, to protect the cultivated fields. They also have to protect the plots against negative influences which are perceived as the result of bad human behaviour (Bolivia). The spirit mediums are the educators on how to live with nature. Nature as the habitat of both the spiritual world and the animal kingdom reaffirm the tripartite relationship between the people, ancestral spirits and the material world (Zimbabwe). With the help of self-made posters, a farmer and spiritual leader explains traditional rituals to other farmers and encourages them to experiment (Sri Lanka).
