Cultural Experience Series :
What I Ate for Lunch
Food is a large part of Samoan culture, as it can be considered a subsistence living type of society. This has resulted in some interesting and creative ways of using natural resources. I have offered my Sunday "To'ana'i" (lunch) as an example. How about a little game!!!
Pictured above is:
A) Pork, coconut cream in multiple kinds of leaves, and breadfruit.
B) Pua'a, Palusami, and Ulu umu.
C) Fruit bat meat, green fish, and a slice of moldy bread.
Please respond with your answers!!

Hi Vik,
I choose B because it rolls off my tongue when I say it, and it sounds like it tastes good. I hope you're having the time of your life. We all miss you and talk about you here, because we're not there or anywhere like it. We're here, in Rangeley, so you 'll have to tell us all about it when you get home.
Love,
Barb Jennings
