What it is
The swamp taro of the atolls: pulaka — giant swamp taro grown in pits dug to the freshwater lens, Tuvalu's prestige crop and the centre of its feasts (fatele celebrations). Ingredients: pulaka corms, coconut cream, water. Recipe: 1) Boil or bake pulaka for hours (it is dense). 2) Slice; serve with coconut cream. 3) The pit gardens take years per crop — the feast honours the growers. 4) Toddy alongside. Serve: at maneaba feasts on Funafuti and the outer islands. Flavor: dense, earthy, coconut-lifted. History: pulaka pits are Tuvalu's heritage engineering; sea-level rise now threatens them with salt — the dish is climate history too. See also: Feke (Tuvalu Octopus), Toddy (Tuvalu).
