And these are occasions for serving such Niuean favorites as takihi (a dish of papaws [papayas], taros [a tropical root vegetable], and coconut cream wrapped in banana leaves), pitako (a loaf made from taros, bananas, and tapioca), and punu povi (canned corned beef), sometimes jokingly referred to as the islanders ’ porterhouse steak. ”
Ja sellistel puhkudel teenindati niue lemmikroogadega, nagu takiki (asimiinadest [melonipuu vili], tarodest [troopiline juurvili] ja kookospiimast roog, mis on mähitud banaanilehtedesse), pitako (tarodest, banaanidest ja tapiokkist tehtud leib) ning punu povi (konserveeritud loomaliha), mida mõnikord naljatades pakutakse kui saareelanike parimat biifsteeki. ”
