Ever heard of "Steam" ?

[smokerscully1]

Just saw something neat here on the boob tube --Discovery channel--
some guy is spending some time with a tribe of natives somewhere in PuaPua New Guinea. These people have only recently been in contact with white missionarys and are trying very hard to keep to their original subsistance lifestyle. Besides hunting for wild pigs and harvesting Sago Palm these natives show this guy how they make "steam". It showed the Natives boiling wine they made from Palm juice in an old outboard motor gas can--wood fire underneath and just a small piece of some kinda coiled pipe for a condenser. Looks like it tastes pretty bad but was prolly very strong. The commentator asks the chief how long they have been distilling "steam" like it was some kinda ancient custom or something. The chief tells the guy one of their young men showed them how to do it 2 years ago when he came home to visit after he had been away at school.

I found that segment of the show very educational on many levels--I'm a little disturbed by it also.

Anyonelse see it? I didn't catch the name of the show.
