Kava (the local Fijian name is yaqona) is very popular throughout the Pacific, prepared here in Fiji as a drink called "grog" (I'd seen it advertised on hoardings but wrongly assumed grog was a more generic term) by pounding sun-dried kava root into a fine powder, straining and mixing it with cold water for drinking (traditionally) from the shorn half-shell of a coconut, called a bilo. It's often drunk at parties but I'm reliably informed that it's an acquired taste
The other recent discovery is cassava cake...
Followed later by an evening cocktail by the water
