An old man cleaning pork intestines and looking at them very lovingly. Pork intestines are consumed as a delicacy in many parts of the world. Here the Apatani tribe of Ziro village in Arunachal Pradesh are preparing to dry pork intestines by hanging them on a bamboo. Pork forms an integral part of the Apatani diet, and the older the pork the better, as many families preserve vintage pork, not only for future consumption but as a sort of currency for gifting at important festivals such as Myoko in spring at Ziro village in Arunachal Pradesh, India. Ziro is the district headquarter of Lower Subansiri district and is one of the oldest towns in Arunachal Pradesh.
