Tonga, it doesn’t get nicer



Hello,

I have just returned from a holiday to Canada and the United States, as a result my cooking challenge has been on hold for the past three weeks. In my travels I tried frog’s legs and snails. The frog’s legs tasted like somewhat chewy chicken with a gamey taste to it. The snails were black, slightly chewy but overall nicer than expected. Strange that I found them to eat in America but that was something I found in America, a choice and variety not seen in Australia.

Now it is back to reality and cooking dishes to get a taste of overseas. This meal, Kapisi Pulu was very similar to Palusami the dish I cooked for Samoa. The corned beef, shredded cabbage, tomatoes and onion were all cooked in a large cabbage leaf with no spices and coconut cream.


The meal was baked in foil. The meal wasn’t that great but the overall dish was slightly better than Samoa. The creation was creamy blend of food with a strange combination of flavours. I decided to serve this meal with sweet potatoes sliced and fried but in short, the dish doesn’t get any nicer.

Goodbye
