Village Cooking using the Essential in The Village Cuisine: The Coconut🥥🇫🇯

In this vlog we are in Joseses farm looking for coconuts. Coconut is an essential in the village cuisine as you can use it for many things. Josese and Pai are going to show us how to collect the coconuts and how the process it in the village to turn it into coconut milk which they will use for cooking.
The two chefs are going to show one of the many ways they use the coconut milk for in the village. They have harvested some eggplants which they are going to cook with the coconut milk and the side dish is going to be the bananas brother (banana plantain) which they also harvested from Joseses farm. The chefs will showcase how to cook the bananas brother (banana plantain) village style.

[@Kjane.]

One of my favourite games when I was a kid, was husking the niu. My brothers and I would race, who's the fastest to finish & fill one sack & get back to the village first. Winner has bragging rights for life..i just wanted hubba bubba! 😂💯

[@uraiatabua]

Hahaha ill be the last one for sure😂

[@alwaysaiming8888]

We use the "kauaga" to squeeze the cream from the coconut flakes. And I can hear you call salt "masima" which is also the Samoan word for salt.

[@uraiatabua]

Yes some words are the same across the pacific 😊

[@ericsebasio681]

Very simple and content life...👍🇫🇯

[@uraiatabua]

Yes 😊

[@devbedamu]

Yes brother,we Islanders can't live without having fresh coconut milk in all our cookings.coconut is life 😊😊😊

[@bulourobanakadavu1261]

Admire how the elders in the background are teaching these young men the proper way of preparing meals -- and many more like fishing, farming, scrapping coconuts, lovo preps, getting pigs and cows slaughtered for major villages/ family gatherings eg. Weddings, funerals, birthdays and many more. Elders actively involved in very important to younger generations learning. 👏👏👏👏👍👍💯💙💙💙💙💖💖💖💖
