:> Betel chewing has been enjoyed in South and Southeast Asia for many centuries. A quid made of areca palm nut wrapped inside a leaf of betel pepper vine which has been smeared with slaked lime, is stowed in the side of the mouth and chewed until it becomes finely ground For further reference, I like this article: Betel Chewing in South-east Asia. You should note, however, that some sources say the nuts are carcinogenic (Spoilsports!)
