Taro Taro Taro

Today we tried some taro.  Taro is a common vegetable in Samoan cuisine.  In Samoa the taro root is wrapped in taro leaves and often cooked in coconut milk and cooked in an umu - an underground oven.  Only Wade and Ava had ever tried taro before.  I was really impressed that 17 out of the 22 of us tried it for the very first time.  How brave!  Some people really liked it but some didn't at all.  There were plenty of funny looking faces in VH this morning.

Good on you for trying a new food!
