ESENAWIAT
Esenawiat is one of the strangest race in the world. Although their culture had been acquainted by anthropologists for hundreds of years, people still don't understand the meaning of their behaviors, especially about their diets. Unlike normal people, whose food is mostly made by wheat, they tend to eat some kind of white beans, which is a small bean-like thing grown on an abnormal plant. These white beans seemed to solve Esenawiat’s problem of hunger, after eating a huge amount of it.
Another odd custom of Esenawiat is that they had the inclination to put their food into a concentration plate, where vegetables are usually separated from meat, and family members were supposed to eat from the same concentration plate. However, every single person still get to keep their own white beans, contained by a half-spherical utensil. This strange behavior is studied by thousands of anthropologist, but still don't get the answer. Is it because that white bean is too small to be shared in a concentration plate? Or is it because white bean contain some special meaning? Many probable hypothesis was given, but none of them was ever proved.
