IALT: Reflect about Samoan Language week
Samoans traditional foods!
This week we have been researching about the Samoan Language and culture.
The topic I chose to research about is Samoan FOODS!
The Samoan culture normally uses coconut milk and cream to make the different types of food. Staple foods are taro, breadfruit, bananas, coconut, fish/shellfish, also chicken and pork.
Samoan umu is used for traditional foods that are cooked above stones and are heated by hot lava. The food is placed on heated lava stones wrapped in banana leaves. It can also be plaited in coconut fronds.
Umu is usually used on Sundays as a special treat or on events. Breadfruit, chicken, fish, fresh fruits, pork and taro are traditional foods. Also with Kava, it is the traditional drink and is only served on at special events.
I learnt a lot about the Samoan culture and I hope you did too!

MANY THANKS
