The Father's Choice

Tuban Food and Beverage

We also went back to the village to follow the wedding ritual of the Rani and the Parman their wedding was very lively.

Even I saw what I have never seen said the Tuban area person whose name is very large in size, rengginang this food made from glutinous rice cooked and formed discs that are large in size and dried after dry in the fry and this food is a traditional food that must be there at every wedding in place bang Parlin.

In addition to the rengginang here there is also kucur, confectionery made from sugar and coconut which is grated using a special grater and the size is also large one coconut in addition to one kilo of sugar made 2 pieces of sugar flower keu making is also quite complicated coconut and sugar that has been grated is cooked in the frying pan without using oil until cooked and really long enough to stir it so as not to stick in the frying pan after being cooked in hot conditions the head and sugar were dyed food and then in the form of a mound and must quickly form it if not quickly it will dry and fail to make it.

I am very happy to be here a lot that I learned and I see it turns out that in this village holds a very unique tradition even said one of the relatives who told me if anyone was married one village or one sub-district and the person is equally willing to get a sasrahan from the male side sasrahannya not kidding.

There is a cow, a car carrying grain or rice, there are spices kitchen, gold jewelry ranging from rings to complete earrings, wardrobe and many others, and many others, I was amazed at how much money to spend on such a wedding not to mention the dowry and also the reception needs.

The wedding party was held very festively there is a lasting entertainment tayub as well which became one of the traditional arts in Tuban and for a whole new life this time I saw it in person, he said, at this party there is also a drink that is white like milk said bang Parlin's name toak the men who were present at the party drank it with laughter.

"Bang Adik wants to try to drink it too," I said as I pointed to the drink that the guests drank, I was also curious to try how it felt when they drank it as if it was very fresh.

"Don't Dik it can make you drunk and it tastes bitter there is acid" said Bang Parlin.

"But I saw the mothers also drink in the kitchen bang the color is also the same as that but a little clear anyway," said I was curious.

"If the model's sister can drink, it's called legen sweet taste there is also seger acid does not make drunk, but not much - much if you drink the fear of a stomachache sister," said Bang Parlin.

"Bang toak is the same, I think the same," said I who just understood that the two drinks are almost the same it turns out different names and effects on the body.

"Yes Dik Legen is a young water bogor tree while Toak is also the same water bogor tree but he is old and processed in such a way that it can make people drunk," bang parlin explained.

I also understand.

"Good Bang is called the bogor tree" I said, remembering the city where I lived.

"Yes Dik is a palm tree but if the east javanese is called a bogor tree, if you want to know what it feels like I will ask someone to get it for you" said Bang Parlin.

Bang Parlin called a little girl and told her to ask for a bottle of legen in Lik's kitchen I saw the girl nod and not long back with a big bottle legent.

"This is trying!" bang Parlin said and poured the drink into the glass and handed it to me.

I immediately received and drank it, I really can't wait to know how this drink tastes, sweet and sour I love this drink, and I saw that bang Parlin drank it, too, deservedly since yesterday I never saw bang Parlin participate drinking toak it turns out toak it can make people drunk bang Parlin will ever go intoxicated so he knows the law of drinking intoxicating drinks so as much as possible he avoided it.

"Bang seger ya legennya, I want again Bang!" my spoken.

"It's enough! sister has run out of three glasses Brother is afraid later brother's stomach hurts," said bang Parlin.

I also according to what is said bang Parlin although in fact I am still not satisfied drinking this legen very fresh drink similar to sprite as well anyway.

I also participated in the splash of happiness at the party Parman and Rani this I get gifts from relatives bang Parlin there who give clothes, and, some give a batik scarf typical kerek very beautiful at this batik kerek cloth, and some give gold to me, and some give gold, I see this perch village people when they come to the party, the majority of them wear a lot of gold jewelry and the size is quite large also makes me remember one of my friends who collect gold only.

After a week of wedding receptions and parties in the Tengger village, Parman invited Rani to return to the place where Parman had been living.

Rani whines at me for a while to take them there count her there are friends while adapting there.

I also agreed and told bang Parlin to come to the place Parman count - counting holidays I did not take a vacation to Bali.

"We take Rani to Parman's place! count - count the holidays I did not so take Abang vacation to Bali we go on vacation to Parman place only," persuaded me.

"But the place where Parman was far from the crowd that there was a swamp and pond, and, if you want to go in and out of the house to buy something just have to use a boat even the market there is also on the boat will you feel at home there?" ask Bang Parlin.

"I'm more curious where Parman bang after Abang told me the market was on the boat, let's go with them yes Bang later if not kerasan ya stay home anyway we just holiday do not settle there," said I.

After I persuaded finally bang Parlin also agreed with my request I was very happy finally I could go for a walk.
