Oh. I had simply assumed that they were human. Never make that assumption
on this list.

I don't think that cheese-carving is something that the Cwendaso would ever
engage in. Their food simply is not decorative. In fact, most of it would
probably *look* rather unappetizing to our eyes, not that it doesn't
*taste* just fine. It's rather like Ethiopian food that way, looks ugly,
tastes great. The big difference is that Cwendaso food is not spicy like
Ethiopian. Not unless the cook really overdoes it on the garlic. They are
quite fond of garlic and onions in just about everything.

LOL! Now that's great.

Cultural issue with the Javanese? How do they say no?
