Cooking Papua New Guinea

 Gastronomy

Except for the delicious fish, lobster and seafood which you can find all along the coast and on the islands, Papuan cuisine isn't in any way sensational. The basic food diet consists of kaukau (sweet potatoes), bananas, taro and saksak - a whitish paste extracted from sago palm trees. In cities, cooking has more of a Western or Eastern aspect, with coconut based dishes and spicy sauces. People there eat little meat, except for pork, chicken and mutton imported from New Zealand as well as beef meatballs served with rice and noodles. On the markets however, you will find numerous exotic fruits.
