I love how they use banana leaves! Papua New Guinea looks incredible! We'd love to go sometime. Does Tama Tama compare to any other food you can think of? Great video Adam!

[@adamconstanza]

So incredibly resourceful right! 😁 I've never tried anything like this before... maybe English fudge is the closest thing in terms of sweetness and texture is the closest thing I can think of... but still very different.

[@SallyAndEd]

So different... It's so hard to imagine what its like!

[@trudy8004]

Another one is called PARIVA that's made from Sago and banana with coconut and is has sweet as Tama Tama... 22 Province's in PNG and eash on them have their own famous dishes they make you'll be supriced at what the make them feom but at the end they taste so good. So come sometime and taste more then 22 different types of food you haven't yet tried❤ Thankyou

[@Predator-q3q]

[@samrangai1195]

In Siuai, it is called TAMA TAMA, and also TUA if served in a wooden bowl in a big feast.

[@alexeyvozovikov4026]

Like Miklouho Maclay.

[@YaleBoularu]

Watching from Boven Digoel West Papua🙏😔

[@aungeb134]

Yum is the tama Tama!😋 You can make it with Cassava and Taro to... Thanks for sharing.

[@SIRRO14]

Original and mouth watering.. 😋

[@adamconstanza]

Delicious!

[@hoon_sol]

Here they're just boiling it it seems, but I've seen that they often pack the food in the leaves and either wrap it in foil or bury it in the ground, and I wonder what the optimal temperature would be. Seems to me like a primitive form of braising; I bet you could recreate this nicely by lining a Dutch oven with banana leaves (or other large leaves) and letting it sit in the oven at braising temperatures (anywhere from 95-150 degrees celsius), although maybe they're achieving more pressure than you could with just a Dutch oven. I guess using a pressure cooker at lower temperatures for a longer period of time would be the best.

[@adamconstanza]

Interesting!

[@ladynegrita8606]

You are killing me!!!! Mi Laikim stret lo kaikai tamatama! 🤣😂👍🏿

[@diannehosea7290]

Em nau. Kaix2 blo such time. 👌

[@SwatisRecipe]

[@nickoleme]

What makes it "bad to say"?

[@mirandagracebiari9184]

Mmm...next is kakasi

[@carent7347]

Are they cooking with banana or plantain?

[@adamconstanza]

I believe they use taro and sweet bananas

[@carent7347]

Thanks so much. Since you are here - I am a fellow kiwi cooking a meal from a different country or autonomous region each week. (not publishing sadly as no time). What easy child friendly main should I cook for Bougainville (I have already cooked an oven based mumu for PNG). Thanks for your insight :)

[@adamconstanza]

Hey, good to know there's some fellow kiwis following along. From my time in ARoB most traditional meals I had involved the food being cooked in coconut milk. We would have whole white fish cooked, trevally, Spanish mackerel or something similar, and greens cooked in lots of coconut milk, plus baked taro and sweet potato. Sounds like a great idea.

[@carent7347]

Ah you know us. Adventure and travel is in our genes! Thanks for the insight - I will take a look at our local Desi for ingredients (we live in London and have access to most ingredients fortunately!).

[@adamconstanza]

@@carent7347 true that! Good luck.

[@lishslifevlogs]

Yummy 😍😋

[@adamconstanza]

Delicious!
