The cuisine of Fiji is enriched due to its vast cultural amalgamation. Apart from the usual food, Fiji has a rich and tempting menu of beverages and desserts.
Any Fijian food goes perfect with an exceptional wine. Generally, the restaurant or other eateries where Fijian food is served, offer an elaborate wine menu so that the diner can relish the local food with matching wine or champagne.
Due to the hot weather of the island, excellent refreshing options are the tropical cocktails. They are generally made by mixing fresh, exotic fruits with other alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks or with spices. Beer can be also easily found in Fiji. Two of the most famous beers in this country are Carlton and Fiji Bitter. Also produced in Fiji's distilleries are drinks like Rum, Cossack Vodka or Old Club Whiskey.
Fiji cuisine is a very original yet complex one. Desserts come in different ways, either they are made like fruit salads having very many shapes and forms or made as cooked dishes. Many types of ingredients are used when preparing a traditional Fiji dessert.
Cassava pudding for instance is made with peeled and grated fresh cassava, shredded coconut, and root ginger and lightly crushed cloves. As a topping, one can always use whipped cream. Cakes with bananas and cassavas are a real delight to one sense. The main ingredients in these kinds of cakes are mashed bananas, fresh cassavas and a lot of coconut cream.
