Back in Port Vila, this is the huge market.  Six days a week it's full of every kind of produce, meat, and some cooked food.  Prices are posted and the people are very easy to deal with.  No pressure.  You may have dozens of people selling bananas or whatever you're looking for so you browse until you find it.  The market itself is a social center since it's mostly the same people spending all day with each other.  These markets exist in all Pacific island countries and we really enjoyed them.  But there was also a pretty good regular grocery in town for staple items, as well as a few pretty nice restaurants.  Vanuatu used to be jointly run by the French and British.  They're gone now but the French food influence remains, thank goodness.
