Everyone here eats something called buai. It’s a nut that grows on a palm tree that gives an energy boost like caffeine. They shell the nut out, take this green pepper (not hot) dip it in dried and powdered sea shells and eat it all together. It makes your mouth red and they call it the lipstick of Papua New Guinea. If you have a red mouth and teeth its considered attractive. SO I ate one to see what it tasted like. Its disgusting. Gross. I cant even describe it, but the taste is awful and you have to spit it (you don’t swallow it). Apparently on your first try it makes you sweat and dizzy (which it does). It was gross……ewwwWWW!
