Cannibals !?!

Kava ceremony in the highlands of Viti Levu, Fiji.
Kava is a drink made from kava roots. It has a mild anesthetic effect and is is a very important ingredient of social events in most of the south pacific.
Despite the lurid title, of course the nice man on the photo who is holding a traditional Kava bowl is not a cannibal, but one of his ancestors might have been one, since cannibalism was very popular on Fiji until the late 19th century
