Fiji's diverse fare is sure to please. Modern Fijian cuisine draws its inspirations from Indian cuisine and spices. Local traditional dishes make for interesting eating. Try Kokoda or marinated fish in coconut cream and Taro - a heavy, potato like tuber with a purplish hue. Enjoy a Lovo or "feast cooked in the earth", which involves slow cooking meat, fish and vegetables in banana leaves over heated rocks placed in a covered pit. Seafood is in plentiful supply as are tropical fruits. European, Indian, and Chinese cuisine along with traditional foods are common place.
