What the creator captured

Mark Wiens felt truly blessed to be invited by the Akka people to celebrate the birth of Jesus through a massive communal feast. He was particularly impressed by the 'butcher's specialty' pork lab and the unique flavor of three-year-old pickled bamboo shoots. The experience of sharing a meal where every part of the animal was used alongside fresh mountain vegetables was a major highlight for him.
