Polynesia has been home to a number of different colonies, and is heavily influenced by French cuisine. Modern Polynesian food is a combination of traditional staples, such as taro and the various fruits of the island, a wide variety of seafood from fish to shellfish and shrimp, as well as both traditional and modern French culinary styles.
This leads to a huge number of variations on dishes, and you can eat many dishes in a number of ways (traditional, French fusion, modern, etc.). If you are looking for a way to give the food at weddings a boost, then Polynesian cuisine is an excellent way to do so.
Weddings in Polynesia are typically catered with a main course and a variety of other, smaller pieces of food. A popular type of dish for the main course is to roast a whole pig on the scene, giving both a traditional flair to the cooking as well as a delicious main attraction at the buffet. Other common dishes served at ceremonies and receptions include prawns, fish, and shellfish served with fruit and French sauces.
There are also a number of Southeast Asian dishes, from noodles to seafood salad, and a number of broths and soups that are perfect when paired with pork.
Polynesian food gives weddings a kick, as many of the dishes are centered on presenting a combination of tastes.
For example, a fruit and pork dish will likely be salty, sweet, andsour, where a broth with shellfish will tend to be spicy, salty, and fatty.
This complex collection of flavors present a unique dining experience to guests, and everyone will sure to be find plenty of things that they enjoy. All of this, combined with the various decorations that traditional Polynesian ceremonies can provide (like hibiscus flowers, palm trees, and more) make any wedding in Polynesia guaranteed to be a very big success. |
