The cuisine of the Pitcairn Islands is not very developed, because only 50 people live there. The most traditional meal is pota, mash from palm leaves and coconut.[1] Tropical plants are abundantly used because they grow here. These include: basil, breadfruit, sugar cane, coconut, bananas and beans. Meat mainly uses fish and pork. A palm leaf is used in this cuisine. Because most of the population is from the UK, the cuisine is influenced by British cuisine, for example, the meat pie.[2]
The cuisine of Norfolk Island is very similar to that of the Pitcairn Islands, as Norfolk Islanders trace their origins to Pitcairn. The local cuisine is a blend of British cuisine and Tahitian cuisine.[3][4]
Recipes from Norfolk Island of Pitcairn origin include mudda (green banana dumplings) and kumara pilhi.[5][6] The islands cuisine also contains American influences not found in Pitcairn, such as chopped salads and fruit pies, due to the influences of American whalers.[7]
