paos

Updated: May 25, 2025

Instead of olives and other pickled fruit, they have a green fruit, like walnuts, which they call paos. Some are small, and others larger in size, and when prepared they have a pleasant taste. They also prepare charas in pickle brine, and all sorts of vegetables and greens, which are very appetizing. There is much ginger, and it is eaten green, pickled, and preserved.
