パンノキ

3月26日（水）快晴

豪州ではイースターにチョコレート製の卵とクロス・バンズを食べます。僕はチョコレートは絶対に、パンもほとんど食べません。パンノキが1本あれば一家5人が飢える心配は無用だとか。成木から直径30cmの果実が200個得られます。焼くか蒸し焼きにして食します。でんぷんを多量に含み、味は僕が絶対に食べないサツマイモそっくり。薄切りにして焼いてビスケット状にすれば長期保存も可能。戦艦バウンティー号の反乱が起きたのもパンノキが原因です。

Bread fruit
Wed. March 26 : fine

OZs eat chocolate eggs and cross bans on Easter. I eat absolutely no chocolate and little bit of bread. People say if you had a bread tree, 5 members of your family would never starve. You can get 200 bread fruits that are 30 cm in their diameters from single matured bread tree. You eat them by either baking or steaming them. They contain a lot of carbohydrate and taste like sweet potatoes that I never eat. If you cut them into slices and grill just like making biscuits, you can preserve them for a long time. The cause of the rebellion on War Ship Bounty was also the bread tree.
