As I was about to rest, my mind tells me to stroll out and I come across this... This pictures shows a typical localized way of cooking.... The pot made from cast iron is placed on a stand and in which lighted fire wood is placed underneath....It is somehow fast in cooking but one thing I hate from the process is the smoke...
Smoke is a dangerous contaminant which is dangerous and injurious to health firstly caused irritation to the eyes.
Most victim of this are women...A typical example is a woman who lives near my hostel. I pushed the half opened wooden door of her house, which doubles as access into her kitchen and her family’s dwelling. I gingerly stepped into the fume-clouded kitchen. “The smoke disturbs me, and is killing my eyes. I use firewood because I don’t have money to buy a stove or gas,” lamented Mom Elijah as she sniffled and attempted to wipe away dripping tears with her
cloth . it is not good for someone who is asthmatic or who has related ailments but people believes it cook food more faster and maybe more tastier..
