The Annual Yam Festival at the Noumea Cultural Centre

Brittany and Brennan sitting out on our deck.

These are the main buildings, There we many of these around the park.
This was some of the food they were serving. These dishes were only the 
samples, yam and tuna wrapped in leaves.
These ladies were wrapping the tuna in leaves. They are
 both from Lifou and speak it. 
Here Laura, is this more traditional for you? So this had Plantain which is known as banana here, tuna wrapped in leaves, yam and some shredded greens, which is called cabbage here, but tastes like spinach. This was an amazing dish. 
Enjoying our lunch.
