Jalbarr, Bush Tomato
Artist: Bessie Malarve
Story:
This is bush tomato. It is growing during the wet season and when the dry weather comes you can smell it’s sweet smell all around. It is ready to eat then. You take out the seeds from the middle and then cook it in the coal with bush turkey. It tastes really good and the skin becomes soft.
