Audebon saw the real thing.
Mali Bet kizi olito alipimek oji niona N'kawadzi k'wigi nahama, padatsak, wasawa, skamonal nspiwi pezagwa Kzôbo. Nikwôbi pidiga, tasabi, ta olidbalzi. [Mary Beth has made a meal for us. I hope you like turkey, potatoes, squash, and corn with thick broth. Now enter, take a seat, and make yourself comfortable.]
You don't know a thing is important until you catch yourself counting the sisters -- squash, beans, corn -- and realize you forgot the corn.
