Baki in the North: Fura for brunch. - Limited Edition of 5 Print

In camp I got to explore new foods. Fura is fermented cow milk popularly known as “yoghourt”. In the North, it is served with millet and is taken as a recreational drink, as well as a meal. As seen in the image, the maiden scoops the milk from the calabash into a smaller bowl, adds sugar on request of the buyer for sweetening and proceeds to pour a spoon full of millet which is crushed with an uncut calabash and mixed evenly with the milk then, pored into a container for the customer’s consumption. In the image, I captured a seller serving her buyers. The North is pretty hot so a Fura break is needed every now and then. Although this method of sale is mostly practiced in the North, developed cities like Lagos are giving in to packaged and processed products, which in all honesty takes from the culture. Technological advancements have made food processing healthier and readily available but this affects the local traders and farmers, slowly eliminating their means of livelihood.
