Pacific Islands

Some of the last land areas on the planet to be settled by humans, the Pacific Islands are comprised of hundreds of islands strewn across thousands of miles of ocean. Courageous island hoppers headed out on open boats, bringing staple foods with them, to settle these remote islands. Island cuisines are often a melding of native, European, Asian, and American traditions. Starchy staples (like taro, yam, and green bananas) comprise the mainstay of most island diets. Fresh fruit is important, too, eaten out of hand or worked into juices. As might be expected, seafood is a major protein for many islanders (often stewed or roasted), although pork is popular, too. Increasingly, Western diets are becoming common on many islands of the Pacific.

Mongolian Beef I

Reviewed on Aug. 3, 2008 by navydtcook2006

good dinner! i got rave reviews- but i did as others did and doubled the sauce. i bought stirfry meat or already cut up meat in the grocery store to save time. i marinaded the meat with a lil soy and garlic for a couple of hours and added lots of pepper cause i like it spicy!
