Pacific Islands

Some of the last land areas on the planet to be settled by humans, the Pacific Islands are comprised of hundreds of islands strewn across thousands of miles of ocean. Courageous island hoppers headed out on open boats, bringing staple foods with them, to settle these remote islands. Island cuisines are often a melding of native, European, Asian, and American traditions. Starchy staples (like taro, yam, and green bananas) comprise the mainstay of most island diets. Fresh fruit is important, too, eaten out of hand or worked into juices. As might be expected, seafood is a major protein for many islanders (often stewed or roasted), although pork is popular, too. Increasingly, Western diets are becoming common on many islands of the Pacific.

I used a cookie sheet with rims on it and bakes it for less time. It is a great recipe for those darn bananas that I never seem to eat fast enough.

Spicy Bean Salsa

Reviewed on Jul. 21, 2008 by Lorio
I did what others recommended and added cilantro. I also added lemon powder as it wasn't tart enough for me and I used fresh tomatoes. It was delicious and I got a lot of recipe requests for it.
