They do?
But aren't you from here?
I was referring to lava lava or tapa lava that are traditional Pacific Island clothes, especially the skirts for men. They aren't all grass and straw like the hula ones, but pretty close (well, close enough for a funny remark on the forum, anyway ).

Other way round: What about Yams or red Kumara in Europe or UK?
And feijoas - our visits are usually around feijoa season. Last year I was there right at the beginning of the season and have to admit that I couldn't wait until the prices came down before I bought my first - but the cost was worth it
I must admit that our palate has changed quite a lot since being here..........but we do eat more seasonally and we cook a lot more than we used to, maybe thats the reason
Kumara or sweet potato from Africa or the Caribbean? These latter I got there in the past too.
Good luck with the move - you can get everything you need here by way of food - for fruit and veg markets are good and outside the major towns there are fruits and veg stalls along the road which sell produce at reasonable prices. In season fruit and veg can be really good value (avocados, kiwi fruit etc). The only major difference to our purchasing habits (apart from actually buying fruit and veg in the first place as we used to grow a lot ourselves) is that organic food is either not available or there is a significant price variation between organic and non-organic. And lemons - there is a saying that if you have to buy lemons you either have no friends or no garden. (they are prolific!)
