I've had a bunch of people ask me what I eat here, so here are some pictures of food. I'll divide them into food that's been given to me and food that I've been able to make.
Vanuatu Food
(aka food from my host family or neighbors)
In general, food here is quite bland. Other than an abundance of canned fish and meats (which I try to avoid), most food is from people's gardens.
 |
| Taro and greens- very common meal |
 |
| I don't often get fish, but I eat it when I get it. |
 |
| Simboro and susut |
 |
| Lap lap |
 |
| A different style of lap lap |
 |
| Taro, cabbage, and beef baked for 24 hours. YUM. |
 |
| Fresh tuna over rice |
Vanuatu Cooking
(aka the food I cook myself)
The hardest thing about cooking here is the lack of availability, food being seasonal, not having a way to keep it (no refrigeration), and not yet having a garden.
 |
| When in Port Vila, I stocked up on lentils. |
 |
Made homemade tortillas and guacamole
with a friend! |
 |
| Fried bananas and peppers and onions. |
 |
| Kumala and island cabbage |
 |
| Canned beans and bread |
 |
| When in Port Vila, I stocked up on couscous. |
 |
| Kumala and susut. |
 |
| Currently obsessed with mashed kumala and friend veggies |
 |
| How many ways can I prepare kumala |
 |
| Boiled bananas and cucumbers |
