refers
to the

manner
of
cookery
which
involves
the pit
oven.
The
suggestion
in the
Maori,
therefore,
does not
mean a
different
method;
it is
but an
attempt
more
precisely
to
describe
the
kitchen
method,
a very
tasty
cookery,

said.
The
suggestion
of
boiling
is found
only in
Tahiti,
yet in
his
dictionary
Bishop
Jaussen
does not
record
it under
the word
bouillir;
boiling
was
little
known to
the
Polynesians
before
the
European
introduction
of
pottery
and
other
fire-resisting
utensils
...
