I worked on this translation with my family. Not made from xagar, from kidi (desert date) plant.

    In Romani – the spoons made us think about a Roma group called Lingurari (spoon makers), who used to make a living out of carving spoons and other everyday objects. We talked about the past and present of the Lingurari group, and the way they used to make a living through their wood carving. The group is still known as Lingurari even though the trades are being lost. A lot of Roma groups are still known by their trade name this way.

    In the audio, a mum is telling her kids about the tradition.
