The knowledge provided by the elderly lady is very useful for the young generation. We in Samoa also had 'umu ti' in the past. Unfortunately, I only heard about it but have never seen how it was done. Lucky for this video that I now know how ti was prepared although the Samoan way may be a little bit different. Thanks for sharing and I wish the lady good health for more years to come!

Yes ti is very sweet, I see some papas use ti to sweeten their coffee or tea,, I love it with coconut, thanks for sharing.

I am blessed to have witnessed the cooking and have eaten all the food mentioned in this video. On the island of Mangaia, our Papa with other men in our village would dig their ti and fetch kape from the hills and valleys inland. This Mama is quite accurate with her informations, very similar to what other islands in the Cook Islands do. And yes, ti is very very sweet and best eaten with coconut. The roroi is a favourite dish of mine. I compare it to the Niuean takihi but a lot richer...Thank you for this video

My first experience in cooking and eating the ti was in Niue. My Nana made a umu and cooked the ti but it was only over night 12hrs approx. It tasted like sweet liqueurs. To avoid the itchiness of the kape, it has to be peeled back to the white flesh before cooking. The outer flesh is cream in color so you peel it until the white flesh is showing. My next trip to the Cook Islands I'm going to cook kape for my inlaws. Awesome video learned a lot. Meitaki maata.

I miss those cook island foods. Chestnut is one of my favourite snacks growing up on mangarongaro and breadfruit on open fire 😋 but my favourite of all would have to be those sour fruits 🍈 lama.I must go back home. There is nothing better then food from the land

Umuti was once practised in Samoa. Unfortunately it's not done there anymore. Would love to try how it tastes like.
