The people gather these minute insects by night, and boil them into thick cakes, to be used as a relish millions of midges in a cake. A kungo cake, an inch thick, and as large as the blue bonnet of a Scotch ploughman, was offered to us; it was very dark in colour, and tasted not unlike caviare, or salted locusts. Abundance of excellent fish is found in the lake, and nearly all were new to us.
As the breeze now blew over a large body of water, towards us, it was delightful; but when facing it on the table- land it was so strong as materially to impede our progress, and added considerably to the labour of travelling. Clouds of the kungo, or edible midges, floated on the Lake, and many rested on the bushes on land.
