EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the traditional food preparation process in a Senegalese village during the 1910s. The scene unfolds in the heart of the community, where women gather around a communal fire, engaged in the age-old practice of transforming raw ingredients into delicious and nourishing dishes. At the center of the image, a woman skillfully tends to a large earthenware pot, filled with a golden, bubbling substance. This is the process of making Sudanese butter, known as "pilage" or "karite," which is extracted from the nuts of the shea tree. The woman expertly cradles the pot with a long wooden paddle, stirring the mixture to ensure an even cooking. The rich aroma of the butter wafts through the air, a tantalizing scent that signifies the start of a feast. Adjacent to the pot, another woman grinds nuts between two large stones using a pestle. The grinding process, known as "broyage," is essential for making various Senegalese dishes, such as the popular Thieboudienne. The woman's focused expression and the rhythmic motion of her pestle convey the deep connection between the people and their land, as they draw sustenance from the natural resources around them. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of a Senegalese village, showcasing the enduring traditions and the communal spirit that have shaped the region's rich culinary heritage. The simple yet profound act of food preparation connects us to the past and reminds us of the universal human experience of nourishing ourselves and our communities.
