Can you please send me photos of your cooking pots?
Alright I know this is kind of a weird request to make but let me eplain. I have a friend named Cyril (photo to come later). Cyril is from a town near Tana but lives in Ambohimanarina with Angeline, his girlfriend/wife (there's kind of no distinction in Malagasy culture). Cyril and Angeline are probably my only friends who are peers, as opposed to being closer to parent age. Cyril does what I consider the "market circuit" where he travels along the road from market to market every day. Cyril sells pots. About once a week he goes to Sambava to get more pots. Almost everyone here uses the same metal pots that come in various sizes. They melt down the metal or old pots and pour it into molds to make the pots. These pots are sturdy-people cook rice in them 3 times a day then scrub the hell out of them with steel wool or sand to get off the char from the fire. Anyhow, Cyril asked what pots are like in the U.S. and all I could say was there are lots of types. So could you help me out and send some photos? Thanks a bunch!
