That hungi looks great Ramjet.

If its yours, I would love more details about how to do it.

A write up in the Cooking section maybe ??

Oh yeah, how are those "Banned" t-shirts coming along ? What sizes ?
Can I have a 4XL ?
Couple of size 8 and a size 12 too - family man you know.
LOL

Yes we did it with some friends a few years ago.
Dig a big hole, add some rocks and build a huge fire. Let it burn so you get a large amount coals and the rocks heat up. The rocks help maintain heat. Put the food in a container and into the hole.
Then you cover it up. Traditionally I believe they cover it with banana leaves before piling dirt on to seal it up. We used wet blankets and a tarp.
Let it cook. DONE! Gotta be careful when you dig it up so ya don't get dirt in the food.

Bloody yummy.

Bloody yummy.

So how long would you cook that "basket" for, it seems like it is a real mix of heavy meat sections along with snags.
I assume the veges would cook first.
