Their Sitting at Meat

Their manner of feeding is in this wise. They lay a may make of bents on the ground and set their meat on the midst thereof, and then sit down round, the men upon one side, and the women on the other. Their meat is maize sodden, in such sort as I described it in the former treatise, of very good taste, deers' flesh, or of some other beast, and fish. They are very sober in their eating, and drinking, and consequently very long lived because they do not oppress nature.
