produced daily are bread and yoghourt. The bread is made from
flour which is most commonly purchased, although some
families still have access to flour from their own wheat = and

wood or dung fire. Yoghourt is manufactured either from milk
purchased in the market, produced by local shepherds or from
family goats, sheep or cows. Among the foodstuffs which are
manufactured in bulk and kept over a longer period are
cheese, pickled fruits and vegetables and dried fruits and

carried out by women and the knowledge of the techniques and
processes of production and storage are passed down from
mother to daughter. Occasionally part of this processed food

into the household.
Other subsistence tasks carried out by rural women are:
