The number 5 on our list of countries with the worst food, unhealthiest cuisines in the world is not too much different than these other island countries. Seafood and pig are the main meats in Tuvaluan cuisine. They’ve got their taro and pulaka, which is a lot like taro. What island wouldn’t be complete without the use of coconut as many ways possible? Bananas, plantains, and breadfruit are also favorites in Tuvaluan dishes. And speaking of favorites, I hear that tuna is big in Tuvalu. Not just in size, but on their menus, as well. Tuvalu Coconut Tuna is obviously, coconut and tuna, but some garlic, onions, spices and a bit of heat, too. I dunno, what do you think — spicy coconut tuna steaks? Well, I guess ya can’t knock it til ya try it!
