Eat Local

Its not just Canada thats big on "Eat Local". The Cook Islands promote their own produce and cooking too!

Why buy goods that arrived in a container from heaven knows where, when on Thursday evenings you can sit in the park , listen to the local enthusiastic ukulele  band

and eat  rice with spiced eggplant, 5 pieces of grilled very fresh mahi mahi topped with a light curry sauce.

The portion was enormous and would have fed the local rugby team, there to raise funds,

and their coach.
