I just got back a few days ago from doing some work in local markets in the east of Burundi, where an equivalent to buza is made of sorghum. It is low alcohol and high in nutrition. 'Mamas' - market ladies - Make this at home and bring it to the maket, where those who want a sip are given a long straw made of cattail or a similar, hollow reed. Then, you take a seat next to a big bucket of buza and sip till satiated. Usually up to 6 people will sit about a bucket, so it can be quite a social event. Hum I'll look for some of my pix and put up more information on Bookofraiforum. But buza in the middle east is individually served and I've have very nice renditions in refugee camps in Sudan.
