Kimberly,

The food we prepared is covered in the post, including how to make them – I just don’t give detailed quantities on most recipes, because it isn’t the way I cook. If you’re looking for some other places to find Samoan recipes, I’d recommend just a google search for “samoan recipes” or something similar – I found quite a few sites with good information and detailed recipes.

If you mean the inspiration for the theme, just random wandering various “today in history” sort of sites. If you mean the menu, I spent a couple of hours perusing internet sites that had recipes and information about Samoan cuisine, picked out what seemed to be the primary ingredients, combinations, etc., and worked it out from there, based on what’s available here.

Wow, indeed, for the useful information in the first comment. I have to say, though, I think I’d find it pretty challenging to eat in Samoa. I’m sure I’d adjust quickly so taro would seem like a hamburger after a while. Where precisely did your inspiration for such a meal come from?
