Norfolk Island (Norfolk Island Recipes) |
||
Norfolk Island food is plain and fresh, with an emphasis on locally caught fish and home-grown seasonal produce. Tahitian influence remains in the tradition of the big fish frys, and in some novel ways of preparing bananas. Progressive dinners in Island homes are a great way to experience the hospitality and culture of local people. | ||
