Ancient Formentera, necessity and tradition II
Fishing was another part of the livelihood, almost all the families had a small "llaüt" made by themselves to go out from time to time (if the weather permitted) to fish, they did not fish very large quantities because they did not have a refrigerator or freezer, they had to look for other methods of preservation such as salt or pickle to make it last longer.

The same was done with meat, from time to time they went out to hunt rabbits but with dogs or birds with a kind of net, or they killed some chicken or lamb from home, but on special occasions since it was almost an extra that they could not afford every day. The normal thing was to make a big pot of food for everyone, legumes with vegetables was quite common as it was enough for the whole family. One of the most awaited days of the year was the day of the slaughter, when the pig was slaughtered, butchered and the traditional sausages were made (sobrasaba, butifarra and camallot) that lasted almost all year. With the rest of the pig the traditional meals of that day were made: "arroz de matanzas" (with lean pork, chicken and seasonal mushrooms), "bullit de matanzas" (boiled pork and chicken with various vegetables and potatoes), the "frito de matanzas" (meat and pork liver fried with the same pork lard) and as the typical sweet of this day the fritters (made of flour, potato and egg). So that day was a feast, which also served as a meeting and celebration of the whole family and sometimes friends or neighbors. Nowadays, those who continue making matanzas are more for tradition and because of the delicious homemade sausages, nothing to do with those of the supermarket. Also the grape harvest was very important, the vineyard was planted, dug, pruned and when the time came to harvest the grapes, they helped each other to pick them, to tread them in a "cub" (a huge boot that they had in every house) and to transfer them to the boots that they had once they had rested for the relevant days. Apart from water, from cisterns and wells, milk from goats and sheep (with which they also made cheese), wine was the only drink they had and the one they drank since they were teenagers.
