At the end of a project conference, I asked some friends
of mine from the northern Banks Islands group to perform
a kastom dance for the attendees, and to make kava for us.
Kava for commercial consumption is generally washed in a
cement mixer and passed through a sausage grinder before
being sieved through a woman's slip. The kastom method,
on the other hand, consists of grinding the kava with a
decidedly phallic-looking coral stone, then
several times through a filter made of coocnut fibre.
