"Preservation turns memories and tastes into a diary."

The salty fragrance in the jar is a snapshot of the four season.
The laughter and song of the elders are awakened by the warm fragrance of fermented rice.
The sharing of meat by firelight embodies family bonds and blessings.

Curing, fermentation, smoking, and drying are all pens of time.
Seasons and thoughts are written down in the lexicon of the tastebud.
Preservation is how culture is sustained in everyday life, and remembered through sharing.

The Amis are accustomed to eating whatever they harvest. No particular thought is given to the preservation of food, but seeds are carefully stowed away to be replanted next season, ensuring the sustainability of the species.

The knowledge of “Seed Conservation” ensures that the community’s three most important produce – rice, arrowroot, and bamboo shoots – are passed down through the generations. Lala soup is prepared when a village is being built in the community to symbolize good wishes for the guests. This dietary custom has also become a part of the cultural heritage.

In the Ceroh Community, beans and rice are used to paint colorful cultural patterns. Each dish is also used to convey the “mipaliu” spirit of mutual assistance and shared values of the land to each visitor over the dining table.
