Po‘e or poke is a Polynesian pudding usually eaten as a dessert.
Etymology
The Tahitian word po'e is derived from the proto-Polynesian root poke which means "to mix", "to knead".[1] It is still called poke in all Polynesian languages except in the Tahitian language and in the Austral language on the island of Raivavae where the glottal stop (written as an apostrophe ') has replaced the voiceless velar stop (k).
Preparation
Traditionally po'e was made by cooking and mashing bananas into a smooth consistency and mixing together with arrowroot flour.[2] The mixture was wrapped in banana leaves and baked in an earth oven until set into a pudding-like consistency, cut into smaller pieces and served together with coconut cream. Modern versions of the recipe replace bananas with other fruits such as papaya, mango or squash[3][4] and using cassava[5] or corn starch as the thickening agent.
