There are all sorts of foods eaten in Tonga that include fruits, animals and seafood. "Talo" (taro) and "Manioke" (a.k.a, tapioca or cassava) are considered vegetables, and are popular common sides to main meals in Tonga. They grow in the ground and Tongans eat the root. At big feasts "puaka" (pig) is often roasted in the ground (called a "fei'umu") or rolled on a stick, over an open fire.
They also eat the fresh catch of the day from the ocean, ranging from "ika" (fish) that can be eaten raw (in a dish called "ota"), "tukumisi" (Tongan shellfish short-spine sea urchin), and "masolo" (sea mussel). There are lots of other unique foods that complete the diet of someone who lives in Tonga, including "otai" (juice with shredded fruit like mango, but most commonly watermelon) and "lu" (taro leaves) that have meat ("puaka"- pork, "sipi"- lamb and "pulu"- beef) or fish in it, to name a few. You'll just have to visit the islands of Tonga to taste for yourself the delicious dishes it has to offer!
