Polynesian cuisine is a unique cuisine. It is a diet that has been influenced by the culture of the Pacific Islands.
The food is largely based on seafood, but also includes other meats such as pork, poultry and beef. The most notable feature of Polynesian cuisine is its use of coconut milk in many dishes. The cuisine also uses taro root, yam, breadfruit, banana, and pandanus leaves to make various dishes.
