    Thank you everyone. The last ‘recorded’ cannibalism on the island was only back in the mid 70’s. The archipelago was known as the Cannibal Islands to old mariners.

  • ma9rk replied

    G’day S..Tanna is towards the bottom of the Vanuatu archipelago. I stayed in a village there on the side of the volcano & they local lads re-enacted their first contacts with white man. They are the true ‘cannibal islands’

    Soooo ….... did you get any dinner invites while you were there ? ; o

  • ma9rk replied

    Absolutely…i was fortunate enough to eat with the chief. They made sure i had drunk plenty of kava to drink before hand so i was starting to hallucinate whilst eating. You usually wont get that but their kava is the strongest in the world and still prepared by the village boys chewing it & spitting it into water. The chief was talking to me without speech but with his eyes & thoughts, we had a conversation like that. Yeah i was having a good time.
