Sausage Trees (A Karamoja Special)

If you watch this video, you might notice a tree with some things dangling from it. There are quite a few of these trees around Nakaale, and they are distinctly weird-looking. As we were driving up for the first time, I asked Bob what was hanging from the trees. He told me with a straight face that they were sausages, hung out to cure (or whatever is done to sausages).
I really thought they were, too, until I realized Mary and Kips had dolls they'd made out of these "sausages." They're really almost like a giant potato in texture; very firm insides and dirty, tough skin on the outside. Definitely not sausages, though. They actually grow from the tree, suspended by vines that look an awful lot like rope.

Cool, huh?
