Silk Cotton (Bombax ceiba) buds cooked for lunch today. This is the sort of traditional wild food that's disappearing from menus and people's consciousness.

Photo from above of silk cotton buds cut into pieces, with the seeds removed, cooked with various spices in a cast iron pan with ears. The buds look like slices of avocado, perhaps. They have a texture something like bitter gourd, but without any bitterness.

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
