On Thursday last week, our whole school had a taste of Samoa for Samoan language week and the meal was Umu'. I wondered if it took long? Yes, it took a while but that was because the extra dishes were apart of the Umu' making. The school surrounded the dishes and the teachers did toasts but Samoan style. Some students took part in making the Umu' and prepared it. Here are some photos that might give you a little tour throughout the time.
On how to make the Umu' they cooked it on top of chopped wood and banana leaves and wet cardboard on top of the food and everything else. It causes steam and heat to stay put and cook the food like it should.
Wow Umu! That sure looks tasty Hope! I hope you guys are having fun and understanding what you guys are making but overall great job. Keep it up!
