The Traditional Tahitian food is named "Ma'a Tahiti" as you see on this picture, "Fei" kind of banana, "Taro" kind of potato, "Uru", "Poe"... all are eaten with coconut milk. But the real "Ma'a Tahiti is not sold on the market but cook in a traditional way underneath of the ground with heated rocks and covered by banana leaves. And the roasted pig is cook that way too. Many hotels restaurants offers the Ma'a Tahiti on Sunday afternoon.
