Thanx Pablus, after all these years I'm pleased to see TC is still the best tiki forum online. I'll try to dig up a few new recipes from down SW Pacific way.

Concerning Tahitian Noni though, I read an article in "Tahiti-Pacifique Magazine" where the famous beverage was sold in China for over $350 the little bottle?
Hard to find I suppose?.
Apparently the Chinese find something really special about the Tahitian variety of noni? There must be something to it, a Google search gives you over 1 250 000 results and 5 000 000 for just a "noni" search. And Tom Slick is right, it's taste is just horrible, I tried our local caledonian noni ($7 a bottle) and almost chundered.
Can someone help me out with this noni question, I feel like I'm missing out on something here or maybe it's just hype.
