Native Sinhalese Toddy collector
Native Sinhalese Toddy collector #IMG775 Toddy (Raa) is the sap of palm trees used as a beverage. To collect palm sap, the flower bud is cut at the tip before it blossoms and a pot (clay pot) is hung to collect the sap. This tradition method of collecting Toddy is slowly becoming a rare scene.
Item in photo is a jak fruit not a breadfruit which does not get much larger than a grapefruit. A jak, however can get twice as large as one here.
A lot of info on net about jak.
Thanks Patrick
