I will over the next couple postings be trying to provide a flavor of the Kosraen local food I have become accustomed with. To start off I realized perhaps the most cherished food on the islands is bananas. There are over 55 different types of bananas here on the island. Not all of them are eaten. Many are used simply for cooking. Kosraen's hang their bananas in the "inum" cooking house as pictured above. Also pictured is a breakfast Banana fried Tempura style. It is a staple for breakfast in "RayDoor's restaurant" as my host mother likes to say.
