Flying fox (bat) for dinner

Besides beef, tin fish and rice, bought in the shops,  Vanuatu has other foods that locals take for granted and tourists enjoy as delicacies. Among these are sweet pineapples, mangoes, island cabbage, flying fox and coconut crab, as well as local nuts such as natapoa and the sweet fleshy-fruit nouse. I have a market down the street where local food such as manioc, taro, yam, cabbage and other freshly grown island staples are being sold..
