Cuisine of Tuvalu : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cuisine of Tuvalu
The cuisine of Tuvalu, a state in the Central Pacific (Oceania), is based on the staple of coconut and the many species of fish found in the ocean and the lagoons of the atolls of Tuvalu. Pulaka, (Cyrtosperma merkusii), or swamp taro, is an important source of carbohydrates. Rice now forms an important part of the diet. Coconut is used in different forms with coconut water, coconut milk and the flesh of the coconut being used to flavour dishes. Various desserts made on the islands include coconut and coconut milk, instead of animal milk. ==Traditional foods of Tuvalu== The traditional foods eaten in Tuvalu are pulaka, which is a "swamp crop" similar to taro, but "with bigger leaves and larger, coarser roots", bananas, breadfruit and coconut. Tuvaluans also eat seafood, including coconut crab, fish from the lagoon and ocean, seabirds (''taketake'' or black noddy and ''akiaki'' or white tern) and also pork. Seafood provides protein. Bananas and breadfruit are supplemental crops. Coconut is used for its juice, to make other beverages and to improve the taste of some dishes. Pork is eaten mostly at ''fateles'' (or parties with dancing to celebrate certain events).〔 Agriculture in Tuvalu is focused on coconut trees and growing pulaka in large pits of composted soil below the water table, Pulaka is the main source for carbohydrates. Pulaka makes up the bulk of the islanders' traditional diet; it is usually supplemented by fish. Since the unprocessed corms are toxic, they must always be cooked, usually in an earth oven. Many of the recipes call for the addition of coconut cream or toddy, or both. On Niutao, coconut cream (''lolo'') is poured over beaten pulp of pulaka, to make a dish called ''tulolo''. A similar dish on Nukufetau, with halved corms, is called ''tulolo pulaka''; with beaten corms the dish is called ''fakapapa''. ''Fekei'' is made on all the islands, and consists of pulaka which is grated (typically this is woman's work) with the aid of limestone with holes drilled in it. The resulting pulp is wrapped in pulaka leaves and steamed, and mixed with coconut cream.〔
