Taste Tahitian Cuisine in the Capital of French Polynesia
"This historic market, established in 1847, was the first organized place where farmers and fishermen from surrounding districts could sell their goods and quickly became the city’s culinary melting pot; guided tours offer a crash course in contemporary Tahitian food culture with tastings of local specialties such as saucy chow mein sandwiches and firi firi (a coconut-milk doughnut), historical context about the island’s foodways, and stops at quick-service stalls to sample items like creamy poisson cru." - Alexandra Owens
