Wow…That ellipsis is for the time it took me to wipe the drool off my chin! Those are stunning photos, and I really enjoyed reading about your Fijian food experiences. The food definitely has similarities to food in Hawaii, but I’d like to get back to Fiji one day soon to compare. Great post!

Hi Y-I don’t know, I wish I did! I range a place in Newtown (Fiji Market) and they only had regular plantains but the moment I find them here, I’ll definitely post!

That pudding looks great. Where would you get Vudi from?

Hi Jesse-Thanks so much! I love themed meals too and exploring new cultures through food!

Hi Maria-I was very excited indeed! We’ve been looking for this banana all over Sydney but apparently they only have plantains which taste like potato. My friend tried it in Fiji so perhaps they don’t import it here

I love the idea of being invited to a Fijian Feast, what interesting and fun friends you have! I would have loved partaking in this! It all looks very good. I need to find that icecream flavoured banana? Maybe it would get my girl eating banana’s?

That looks fantastic! I love having themed meals and trying new foods I’ve only read about.

Hi snooky doodle-If you like coconut (and taro or cassava) then Fijian cuisine is definitely for you! Thankyou!

Hi Teresa-Cool, which bit?

Hi Blond Duck-I guess you’re not one for Fish head curries? My friend M isn’t either but her boyfriend Semi loves it!

Hi sydneyguyrojoe-haha oh yes Kava! We didn’t try much of it (its repuation preceded it) but there was plenty of it along with coconuts!

Hi Cakelaw-Sounds like a nice meal! It’s really unusual but good and similar to Chinese desserts in a way they use vegetables in desserts

Hi Annie-I always say that too-I should eat more fish

Yum! What a lovely looking feast! I really do have to cook fish more often…
