When he started the Pacaya Volcano was spewing lava and he was able to cook pizza in the actual lava. However, volcanoes change and are unpredictable, so at the moment there’s on lava flow, but just steam, so instead of cooking in the lava, he’s built a pizza oven in the lava rocks, builds a small fire to get more heat, but still cooks within the volcano.I ordered everything on our pizza, with six different types of cheese. He also included parma ham, salami, pepperoni and peppers, as well as spicy chili sauce which was a highlight for me.The pizza turned out fantastic, evenly cooked, and with a golden brown crust.It’s such an amazing experience eating pizza cooked in a volcano with the view of the volcano and the surrounding volcanoes. Absolutely highly recommended!Social Media:Facebook: facebook.com/markwiensfoodvideos Instagram: instagram.com/migrationology Tiktok: tiktok.com/@markwiens 👕 T-shirts: store.migrationology.com 🌶 Ghost Chili: amzn.to/3PNTvNQ🎥 Camera gear I use: amzn.to/3FVdBUd (some of these are Amazon affiliate links)

After gathering a few dozen we headed back to the beach where they gathered dry coconut tree branches, placed the sea urchins on top of them, and then and then burned the entire pile. It was something definitely unique! The smoke just barely entered the sea urchins, giving them a fragrance but not cooking them. They were so pure, so sweet, so incredibly tasty with some Fiji limes and chilies.Aunty also made a specialty called qiliqili with made from cassava balls and coconut boiled in lemon leaves.Another day of amazing local Fijian food!Social Media:Facebook: facebook.com/markwiensfoodvideos Instagram: instagram.com/migrationology Tiktok: tiktok.com/@markwiens 👕 T-shirts: store.migrationology.com 🌶 Ghost Chili: amzn.to/3PNTvNQ🎥 Camera gear I use: amzn.to/3FVdBUd (some of these are Amazon affiliate links)

Coconut crabs are definitely unique, and they are a huge delicacy in Fiji and for the local population on the Lau Islands. They all mentioned that they coconut crabs are so tasty and so delicious that they don’t need any extra seasoning or cooking - all you have to do is boil them for about 10 - 15 minutes and eat. The crabs eat mostly a diet of coconut, so they have a sweet coconut taste to them, and the fat in the stomach (similar to the tomalley on other crabs), is like a natural coconut crab pudding with a complexity of flavor. It was an amazing experience to be with local Fijians on a remote island eating coconut crab.Next up on this Fijian crab tour we visited another island - Totoya Island, Lau Islands, Fiji where we had the honor to cook and eat another Fijian food delicacy of land crabs, cooked in coconut milk. The crabs were boiled then fully deshelled, then mixed with onions and chiles, and lots of coconut milk, and re-filled back into their shells. They were boiled again until the coconut milk thickened into a creamy crab sauce. You eat them with a fresh squeeze of local lime and chili, and it’s something truly magically delicious.What a day of Fijian food and the freshest crabs from the source!Social Media:Facebook: facebook.com/markwiensfoodvideos Instagram: instagram.com/migrationology Tiktok: tiktok.com/@markwiens 👕 T-shirts: store.migrationology.com 🌶 Ghost Chili: amzn.to/3PNTvNQ🎥 Camera gear I use: amzn.to/3FVdBUd (some of these are Amazon affiliate links)

We were lucky to see the entire cooking process from start to finish. One of the traditional foods of the Tay People is five colored sticky rice, each color made from a natural coloring and steamed.

Market Stir Fry 龍記炒燴: goo.gl/maps/G76f2NwgbZsLXrNg8 - First to begin this Taiwanese food tour we stopped off at a market across the street from Taiwan University. At lunch the market transforms into a massive food court with all things Taiwanese food you can imagine.

Food was delicious!Total price - 320 TWD ($10.57)2. Oyster omelet (廣州街夜市香脆蚵仔煎): goo.gl/maps/uneE6Gk9LLE8FduY7 - Next up, another Taiwan street food classic - the oyster omelet.

Additionally some of the highlights here are the plump poached oysters and the simple ginger soup.Total price - 520 TWD ($17.18)3. Fried Rice Restaurant (後港一路蛋炒飯): goo.gl/maps/XroqUXBp722FQseS8 - But really, the absolute highlight was going to Taiwan’s king of fried rice.

It was an amusement park of fried rice - a mountain of fried rice. And the owners are extremely friendly!Total price - 180 TWD ($5.95)This turned out to be an amazing Taiwan street food tour in Taipei.
