Kelabit eating party


 An essential item in the party is an immense feast of rice and stewed beef.One Kelabit divides up the food and hands is out  to the girls for distribution.A woman passes a pannikin of rice beer and one guest has jammed a bone  in his mollars.And when the meal is over the serious drinking will go steadily forward until dawn the next day or perhaps the dawn the next day or even the dawn after that!
