Cuisine of Vanuatu

The cuisine of Vanuatu (known in Bislama as aelan kakae) incorporates fish, root vegetables such as taro and yams, fruits, and vegetables.[1] Most island families grow food in their gardens, and food shortages are rare.[1] Papayas, pineapples, mangoes, plantains, and sweet potatoes are abundant through much of the year.[1] Coconut milk and cream are used to flavor many dishes.[1] Most food is cooked using hot stones or through boiling and steaming; little food is fried.[1]
