Plus, every bull receives
six liters of beer a day
:25:32
in order to expedite
their fattening process.
:25:35
The beer is given to the animals
directly from the bottles
:25:38
to prevent the liquid
from losing its dilating power.
:25:42
All the steaks
coming from these bulls
:25:44
end up in three or four
specialized restaurants
:25:47
in Tokyo and New York.
:25:50
They cost approximately
7000 liras a kilo.
:26:09
Here, where drinking
beer is unknown,
:26:12
they resort
to the use of tapioca,
:26:14
a starch that has more or less
the same fattening qualities
:26:17
as potatoes.
:26:26
We are at Tabar,
the largest island
:26:28
of the Bismarck Archipelago,
:26:30
where, by tradition, the most
beautiful women of the tribe
:26:33
are locked up in strong cages
:26:35
similar to those we've seen
in Strasbourg to fatten geese
:26:39
and they get filled
with tapioca
:26:41
until they reach
at least 1 20 kilos.
:26:44
Then, they will be
offered as wives
:26:46
to the village's dictator,
Utame Alunda,
:26:49
famous all over the islands
for his physical power
:26:51
and his odd personality.
:26:57
The fattening process
goes from 3 to 6 months,
