Text 3 Food and culture What’s on a pacific island plate

 1 Taro,breadfruit,bananas,coconuts and yams all grow traditionally in the pacific islands.

 

2 An Umu and Lovo are the same thing as a hangi. A Hangi is an underground oven heated using hot stones.

 

3 I like my mum’s boil up because it tastes good and because I like to eat sausages. There is sausages,meat,cabbage,carrot and potatoes

 

4 They share food at weddings,funerals or a village festival. They come together to make big meals cooked by the whole community

 

5 Palusami is made from Taro leaves filled with coconut cream. While kokoda is made from a dish of raw fish marinated in lime juice and coconut cream.

 

6 So that there is enough for everyone to eat. Even at weddings or at a funeral they cook extra just in case for extra uninvited guests.

 

7 What I learnt today is that Umu and Lovo is the same as a hangi (an underground oven using heated stones). That is a very interesting fact.

 

8 They all come together and try different foods they cooked. I think that they will make a big feast with all of the food they have afterwards everyone will eat and be happy.

 

9 Traditional foods,culture and dances might disappear if they don’t eat traditional foods. It might disappear in the near future.

 

10 I would like to try Pasulami because it sounds nice (it has meat inside and wrapped in taro leaves).
