TORRES STRAIT ISLAND COOKING TERMINOLOGY

Most of the vegetables cooked on the Islands are cooked as sabee sabee , that is to say cooked in coconut milk .
Greens are very much in the minority in the Islander`s diet and the emphasis is on starches .
Sop sop involves using a banana leaf to encase the cooking vessel or the vegetables  and cook over stones or in a steamer . this process results in a somewhat smoky flavour .
