Tuvalu’s snack aisle is a container and a coconut. Pulaka is the starch. Fish is the protein. Biscuits appear when the boat does. There is no Funafuti chocolate house.

Snacks from Tuvalu
Tuvalu does not have a candy industry. People snack on coconut, pulaka leftovers, fish, and biscuits from the shop when the ship has come. Toddy sweets if someone boils the sap. The page stays short on purpose: atoll pantry, imported biscuits, no invented nougat.
