Fijian Feast

No, this is no Chinese buffet! But the way the Fijians feast, it's as if there were no tomorrow in sight. When one sits down to this kind of feast (usually during weddings or funerals or some other village celebration), one can eat to their hearts content...the food just keeps coming! The food usually includes dalo (taro) baked in a lovo (underground "oven"), all sorts of meats and fish, even the Chinese chop suey, although Fijian style (with ramen noodles and less vegetables). When you've had your fill, you just say "vinaka vaka levu" and roll on out so that another can take your seat.
