The staple of every Samoan diet is the humble UMU (earth oven)!
Check out how you too can experience tender taro, perfect palusami, and freshly-caught fish, OLD SCHOOL STYLE. It's the perfect way to eat the island way!

His demo & explanation was spot on. Thanks
Awesome. Amazing how Samoans were blessed with such rich traditions, values, and cultural practices that precede and stand the test of time. My beautiful Samoa my love for you will never end.
I am tongan but my family and I make a umu every sunday
I can see the connection of Polynesian culture that connects Samoa and some cultures in the Philippines. ❤️
That’s because Samoa is Polynesian
My parents are from Jamaica and we eat similar foods just like these🇯🇲. Sweet plantains, coconut water, and roasted breadfruit is my favorite😋😋

Do they use the large tongs made of natural material to handle things in the fire? in Belize they call it kiss-kiss
Same was thinking the same thing but we dont cook it the same way
What I wouldn't do for some luau and taro right now. Nothing makes me happier than a family member getting off the plane from samoa with those UMU boxes 😍😍😍😍😋😋☺
Are you poly too or Samoa cheeehoooooo
Malo le fa'amalosi
I can sense your high energy Vibrations
You are more CLEAR and CONCISE than any and ALL of the adults in my Childhood.😆
I'm SWOLLEN with Pride as a Samoan...
Living in New England!😂😂😎💪
Eventually I'll make a CZcams video of "UMU IN THE SNOW"
Won't be as good as Yours though😊
My best memory of visiting my family in the Islands is my uncles preparing an umu. I swear pork cooked this way is the best in the world - and thats compared to Michelin restaurants I've visited around Europe.
this man is a true samoan - smart, confident, strong and a good leader - and this video was so helpful!!! love it
My brother from far across the seas this is a most amazing video and it speaks of sooo much love and care and the gift of sharing. Thank you for much for posting this. I met some Samoans while teaching in South Korea and they were the sweetest and most amazing fellows a man can wish to meet. Blessings D from a cold and rainy Cape Town - South Africa
💖💖💖
Better than electricity and gas 😍🥰😇 you guys are such a blessing for the younger generation
Love the Umu tradition, esencial part of our heritage as Maohi people.
Skills and ingenuity like this are what made the Polynesians the great navigators of the world. I dream one day of tasting palusami. Coconut is my favourite fruit and vegetable.
I’ve watched this about 4 times already lol I just love it 🥰
I love Paulsami!! That’s literally my favourite when I go to family gatherings.
Wow thanks for sharing the beautiful culture of polynesian
Thats my uncle!!! LOVE U CHRIS!! Alofa atu
Good job young man, love the tradition, thank you for sharing with the world!
Malo sole, i love how you explain all about the umu 💗 Brings back memories from when i was in Samoa long ago 💗💗

Yeah the best umu is the Samoan umu Malo Usos man I wish I was there I made a lot of umu when I was young so I know how yummy that food will be the best food ever I miss Samoa Soo much and especially the umu food ❤️❤️😋😋😍😍
have you tasted tongan umu?
@@lat6767 true i saw Tongan umu massive never taste it but looks yummy, im samoan
Job well done uso. Been a long time.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial!
My favorite mea 'ai umu has always been fai 'ai pilikaki and palusami. So good!
in my village biak island we call barapen...same with umu from samoan...thanks brother from samoan...
Enjoyed watching this!
The only difference from the umu we do in the States is we use wet newspapers to cover so no heat/steam escape.
This is great!
Awwww well done my dear cousin Chris :)
Beautifullllll ! ♥️
Great dinner, thank you for sharing
You are a brilliant presenter
The guy in this video (Chris) was a mentor in a program I went to in Samoa, in 2009.

I mean when your main source of nutrition is coconut and you've been eating it all your life and your ancestors have been too you're gonna come up with creative ways to use it!
Great song i like the harmony :)
Macdanda is I this video lol. Love it Uso. Keep up the good work
hmm...this isn't nero but i'm okay with it

Sulamai Gosche in fate universe caesar nero is a cute girl and umu is her catchphrase
@@sulamaigosche1118 UMU
Great job!
Yummy
True about having patience to light that fire maybe apply it in life, good things will eventually come to light, se ua leva lol.
I know that im tuvaluen but i like the they sings the song
nice and chently...
Great great video
nice i wanna learn
neat stuff, wish we could have gotten a close up of the bananas as they look different from the ones we see on the mainland
you probably figured this out by now but we use green bananas (unripe ones you could say) if you were talking about before the fire or after the fire or whatever :p
Great example of a Chief in Samoa
Old skool way to cook also smart way😁😁😁
Were same on how do that ... us we called UM... pollap island
in hawaii, we do an imu, kinda similar to an umu
#SamoanDynasty!!
Growing up with my grandpa he was a really harsh man about doing a umu the right way a lot of Samoans start the umu by laying the woods down but my grandfather hated that method because the rocks won’t be heated enough so he prefers standing the fire woods up and build around it and the umu will be as aasa as hell he says 😂 I believed it cos I did it and it works and that’s how my dad does it too
Nice video usos, +1
Our Traditions of the best
Pretty awesome 🌴♥️🌴♥️🌴
My uso Chris ..my fambam from Safua..Savaii..alofa atu bro.
Uwiii palusamiii 🤤😋
I didn't know Samoans knew how to use Extra large Chopsticks
*Tongs
Most of the business in Samoa are Chinese, that is why
You're stupid
am i the only one who get that this is a joke? XDD
The Umu originators!
Not the umu i was looking for but i'll take it
Ay alu ai lo'u uso thanks it cool
I like your head band can you show us ow to make it?
Did you do your prayer ? Because every Samoan has to do their prayer Before eating
yes
Is the one in the yellow lavalava the fella from 3 wise cousins
TheCoconetTV you get video on basket weaving?

Just came back from my vacation from hawaii ....they do this in polynesian cultural center....and when they served this food to us ....my god the banana tasted like potatoes

Hello my dear Chris talofae wish you are stil here. Alofa tele atu . From AUNTY ANNE
Never new banana tree leaves can be used like that
How to basic expect this one actually shows you how to make it.
Alot of leaves died in the making of this program.
Love the song - does anyone know the title of the song pls
O le alofa lava
So this is what people smell when The Rock is cooking?
To much our Samoan brothers haha mean Maori mean heahea like the Maori if the hangu raw man o man yumi
We have our way you have your way
Magaia le demo Uso. Fr.. USA.
5:03
i was wondering, why do samoans peel the skin of the taro and the bananas? and how come they put alot of rocks on top of the umu?
When you eat a normal yellow banana do you peel the skin ?
❤️🌺🔥❤️🌺🔥🌺❤️🔥❤️
America: uwu
Samoa: Umu *menacingly*
Hey Vito
Malo lava ...
THIS IS SO EXACTLY WHAT FIJIANS DO EXCEPT WE CALL IT LOVO UMU
Do you guys bury your lovo. Because my cousins from fiji tried to bury it once but my older brother stopped it and told them 'If your here in Samoa we do it in Samoan way'.
Hi
The guy in the yellow ie is from free wise cousins
Mea la lea e makagofie ai le agagu'u fa'asamoa....pe aga iloa kamaiki samoa lae ola i fafo fai mea ia. That's why the samoans that grew up on the island and went to school there are the best kind of samoans anywhere.
Torch Live funny you say that because in my family it's the opposite. My brothers and cousins lega fagagau i fafo do the umu pea fai mea le makou aiga and my cousins who were born and raised in Samoa just faasasa'o i luma e le iloa fai gi mea. My hamo born cousin was also shocked that I could vavalu kalo because she doesn't know how to. Don't sleep on us that were born outside of Samoa. It really depends on the person because a lot of Samoa born people I've met are the biggest fia palagi.
Ignorant! Samoans outside Samoa ua ola ma atinae ai aiga i Samoa. Koe mafaufau la ile faiga o lau kala. Faapea oe e koe faia gi umu i fafo? Mea ga e maua i lou le malamalama.
Torch Taula, se moisosogo ..
Mahalo! 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️
Lol I saw the guy from the movie three wise cousins
Nero: umu umu!!!!
So men in Samoa do all the cooking?
I was taught a totally different way. I'm Samoan and I help my young brothers do the cooking.
Rima Dawson yep it's part of our culture, men cook the food serve the food in the house, the elders parents and he's sisters eat first, men goes fishing, hunting, coconut climbing, men's also does the plantation and the art of Tattooing!**
the heat from the umu is strong....so man have to do it
Actually the women help with the preparation, like raw fish and stuff
The teines know how to do this too.
If you know that you’ll hate and disrespect this video. Don’t watch it. Malo USO

Talofa!👋🏽😉
