  • Etnográfica:
    We use the kiskis tree to make tongs. This is a necessity for cooking, used for stirring the pot, lifting up pieces of food, e.g., bananas, cassava, fish, meat, while cooking or serving. You will burn your hand if you don't have a a kiskis to to pick up and turn your banana or fish while roasting it, for example. If you don't have one, you will have to go cut one before you can cook. (For people who live in the bush, there is probably no one convenient to borrow one from.) Most people have several, different lengths and widths for different uses. Said to be two varieties, the "real" one, i.e., the thin one, and the mountain cow one, ngarbing aing kiskis.
