The Fijian Sunday Lunch

Giving yourself a break on Sunday

How many of us, can honestly say that we're not aware of the Pacific tradition of "Sunday Lunch" ? I bet no one in the Pacific. The tradition has been widely observed since Christianity was introduced into the Pacific where an islander was required to donned their all white Sunday best and go to church on Sunday morning, and upon coming back, you return to a variety of home cooked meals to enjoy, a reward for going to church perhaps? The tradition is what everyone looked forward to. Not only because we feel that we need to partake in this food fiesta, but basically because, it is a chance to sit together with our family members, on a kitchen table enjoying what one doesn't from  Monday to Friday due to many reasons that only we know...but Sunday, it is always a "family meal" time for any family in the Pacific. Putting aside the no cab diet, Sunday is a good day to reward yourself with some soul food and family time, not at the bar or at the park, but right on your home kitchen table beside your loved ones.
