First time I have actually seen how the tropical plant species "Heliconia laufau" straining fibers are made from the part of the leaf stem called a petiole. The fibers are teased out of stem with sharp knife then rubbed between hands (nuti). The finished fibers are dried and formed into a birds nest shape to strain the grated coconut flakes (penu) to queeze out the coconut milk (pe'epe'e) into a bowl (tanoa). I lived in a small village of Amaluia on American Samoa fir two months. This was one thing I never got to see being made as you can buy them already made. This strainer is known as "tauanga" in Samoan language.
Fabulous !!! I have a question but back in the day what did they use back then instead of metal pots and metal stuffs my wif and family are Samoans and from havvaii
Make some delicious fe’e. Love to see the island seafood style. But if you’re not a fisherman then would love to see making Samoan traps to capture the animals
Make fresh corned beef..and the octopus stuff, sorry idk what its called. The samoan store in kalihi only makes it on sundays..oh and fresh bread if can
anthony poepoe, the octopus dish is called fai’ai fe’e. As for corned beef, that is not traditional Samoan food, so go to a factory and see how it’s prepared and canned.
0:36 OMG the sound of the sapelu cutting the taro leaves brought back memories of the maumaga...makua ou le koe fia oo i le ga olaga, but never forget my roots😂😂😂❤️
Great videos!! How do I make laulau if I don't have taro leaves here in GA? Is elephant ears plant similar or the same? Send some of your knowledge this way
"THESE EVERY PACIFIC OCEAN IRELAND ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL THEIR MAIN INCOME ARE TOURISTS..THESE IRELAND PEOPLE ARE HANDSOME AND WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL THEY HAVE THEIR OWN CULTURE AND RELIGION THAT ATTRACTS THE TOURUST OF MAIN LAND USA..CANADA AND EUROPE MAINLY..THATS HOW THEY ALSO KEEP LIVE THEIR CULTURE AND THAT IS VERY GOOD".."SOME DAY IF IT IS POSSIBLE I ALSO LIKE TO VISIT "TOU LUAU.."THANK YOU TOU LUAU PEOPLE"
Next time add some cooked white taro and bananas in with it! And when making the coconut milk, add in some chopped green onions, two teaspoon of sugar, and a pinch of salt. You'll bring vaisalo to whole new level of dessert!
