What to eat in Papua New Guinea

Whether you're sampling street food or enjoying a traditional feast, eating is one of the best ways to experience a country. Papua New Guinean cuisine is largely vegetarian, with lots of tropical fruits and starchy root veggies, including sago, taro and sweet potato. Seafood, chicken and pork are also popular, though pork is usually reserved for special occasions.
