Malo! This week, my focus has been on Koko Samoa, considered to be Samoa’s national drink. If I had realised that Samoa had a hot chocolate as their national drink, I probably would have moved there (my kind of people). On our drive through the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland, we stopped at a farm stall on the side of the road that was selling cocoa pods. While deciding on which one to buy, the owner came out for a chat. We started chatting about the cocoa tree he had in his backyard, and he mentioned that his wife, who is Samoan, makes Koko Samoa and drinks it every night before going to bed. He offered to sell us some of her home made Koko Samoa and we, of course, said yes.
