Summary
DescriptionTarasco Still (Bourke, 1983).png |
English: A Tarasco still. At A was the fire, with outlet for smoke at B; C and D were hoops against which were placed the staves, secured on the outside by other hoops of ricrcles apparently of willow. At E was the mashed mescal in a large earthen bowl; f, on top of the still, was another large bowl full of cold water, which was ladled out by an attendant as it became heated and supploed afresh. The steam arising from the heated mescal condensed against the bottom of the bowl (f) filled with cold water and then dropped into a bowl (g) placed at an angle. This bowl was called the cuchara or spoon. From the cuchara the mescal ran-out through the tube K, made of mescal stalk, into the olla or water jar L. On one of the staves, at H, was a rudely incised crucifixion, marked there, as I was told, to ensure "buena suerte" (good luck) |
