Eating in Cook Islands
Don't eat pizza in the Cook Islands before you have tried the local stuff (which is admittedly hard to find):
ika mata (raw fish) with coconut milk, finely chopped vegetables. It is delicious!
umu food (prepared in the traditional earth oven)
curried eke (octopus in coconut curry)
rukau (Taro leaves, usually cooked with coconut cream)
poke (cooked fruit pudding) (banana, pawpaw,...) with coconut milk.
Some of these are availlable every day at the market in Avarua.
Every 2 weeks there is a "Go Local" market where locals sell their products.
