| Samoan Pankeke are round deep-fried morsels enjoyed with a cup of Samoan Koko which is somewhat like the American hot chocolate. People question, "If these are pancakes, why aren’t they flat?" The easy answer is that back in Samoa, the natives are up at the crack of dawn to get to their plantations before the hot sun rises. These balls of pankeke are easily carried in woven coconut baskets or even in the folds of their lavalava (sarong) to munch on – no utensils needed! Sharyl’s deep admiration for the Samoan culture is evident as she shares about the beauty of the islands and its people whenever traveling to her husband’s motherland. |
