Engineering:Tatakua
A tatakua (Guarani: tatakua; Spanish: tatacuá) is a traditional Paraguayan rustic oven, made of mud and brick, whose construction is specially designed for the preparation of typical food such as chipa, Paraguayan soup, chipa guasu, etc.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Background
The word tatakua comes from the Guarani word "tatakua", literally, "fire hole" - from the nouns tata, "fire" and kua, "hole".[7][8][9] Originally, the Guarani people used the nests of a certain kind of ant (takuru), which used its excrement mixed with soil and saliva, resulting in solid and resistant nests, which could reach up to two and a half meters in height.[10][11][12]
In Paraguay, it is traditionally used in Easter celebrations, where it is generally used for cooking chipa.[13][14] Currently, it is possible to acquire it prefabricated and in several varieties and sizes.[15][16][17]
