We gather the sour yam from late September to November in marking the end of a fruitful season. Digging this vegetable from the earth allows us to collect a bountiful harvest. After separating the roots from the leaves, we replant them to nurture new life for the next season. Today, we transform the yam by peeling and boiling it, creating a delicious mash reflecting our culinary traditions' warmth. By the river, we find a spot on the elevated bank. Here, we build shelves to place the yam mash on, protecting it with care.
