"When you are angry, it can fill your heart and relieve your worries; when you break up, it can silently comfort your soul; when you miss home, it can heal all loneliness and helplessness." It is food. Food can be a feast for the eyes and palate at this moment, or a serene memory of someone from the past; it can be a complex, expensive meal that you have never tried before, or a bowl of hot noodle soup enjoyed on a winter day. The only constant is the warmth and fulfillment that food brings to our lives.Immigration to Vanuatu, naturally, one cannot miss the local specialty cuisine. Now, let me take you on a culinary journey through Vanuatu.
[Overview of Vanuatu Cuisine]
Vanuatu's cuisine has a Melanesian style, favoring Western food but with a mild flavor, avoiding spicy dishes. Although the variety of dishes may not be abundant, they are distinctive and made from natural, organic, and pollution-free ingredients. Local specialties include lap-lap and coconut crab. Yam, cassava, taro, and sweet potato are staple foods in the region. Seafood is also a common ingredient on the islands, with lobster, crab, giant prawns, and fish often serving as the main ingredients in many dishes.
[Specialties of Vanuatu]
Lap-lap拉普拉普
Lap-lap (拉普拉普) is a traditional food of Vanuatu and the national dish. It is made by grinding and mixing cassava, yam, and banana into a dough, adding diluted coconut milk, placing a chicken wing or fish, pork, or other meats on top, wrapping it in banana leaves, and then cooking it with stones.
Coconut Crab
Coconut crab, also known as the robber crab, can weigh up to 6 kilograms, making it the largest terrestrial arthropod in existence. It is a type of hermit crab that can crack open coconuts with its claws to eat the flesh inside, which is how it gets its name.
Kava: Vanuatu's "National Drink"
Vanuatu's "national drink"—Kava is not an alcoholic beverage; its main ingredient is the extract of the kava root. The traditional method of making kava involves cutting the kava root into small pieces and drying them for several weeks, then grinding them into a powder. This powder is placed in a filter made from plant fibers (such as bamboo or hibiscus) while water is poured in and squeezed to extract a muddy juice, which is KAVA. This muddy drink can provide a relaxing effect similar to alcohol, and after a long day, two or three cups of kava can sweep away all stress and worries.
Sea Cucumber
The Vanuatu government mandates that sea cucumbers must be harvested sustainably, which likely contributes to the clarity of the local waters. Sea cucumbers have an elongated body, resembling a tube, but their colors and varieties vary, with black and brown being the most common. Sea cucumbers are primarily protein and contain no cholesterol, making them an excellent health food and a good supplement for patient recovery.
