Midateng_對部落的愛從餐桌蔓延

​

阿美族人是台灣所有族群裡最被公認的野菜採集高手，這是族人過去數千年來遷徒在各種環境資源中，不斷累積的生態知識系統，甚至影響族人之信仰與行為準則，反映在日常生活裡的祭儀、食物、生活用品、漁獵工具、建築和治病，且多以植物為地方與個人命名。這般充滿在地獨特魅力的採集知識，同時具備全球的辨識度，尤其是過去20幾年來發展出，一條反工業的飲食趨勢，讓阿美族人保有的飲食與生態文化智慧，足以和北歐的採集料理，日本的摘草料理，齊站國際舞台。

 

部落飲食烹飪方式簡單，大多水煮或火烤，沾食族群有名的tenas（鹽巴辣椒水），食材卻非常的豐富，山上、海邊、溪邊都是食物的來源地，micekiw（海邊撿貝）、midateng（採野菜）、miadop（打獵），mieteng（溪邊抓魚蝦），只要有人說要去「拿」東西，那麼就代表今天的餐桌一定有好料。

 

Hatila以野菜採集文化成為在地扎根線索的起端，人類與大自然共存生態智慧，隨著文化意識及知識傳遞交流而轉變著，挖掘自己所擁有的、獨特的人、物、或是過去的;地方文化產業最後總要與未來生活願景走向同一條路，記錄當代作為牽起過去與未來的手。

 

野菜採集只是眾多線索中的一條，由此得試著找出更多的線索，讓部落找回傳統文化與發展的主體性，同時讓自己能認真、自信且自在知足的生活在Kaluluan磯崎這塊土地上。

Pancagh also called Ami folk are well known with the knowledge of edible greens in the wild. Not only knowing what is edible but a knowledge system builds with the use of plans as natural materials for buildings and household facilities and led to the handcraft skills and culture deeply connected to the spirit world.

 

The food comes from land, forest, river, sea, and mountain, and if you hear somebody say that he or she is going to "take" which means you can expect something delicious. To take usually means bare handed or sometimes with very simple tools, this is because they know the unwritten rule about "enough is enough", they comply with modest and thanksgiving, to understand the universe belong to nobody and the importance of perseverance.
