Hawaii Menu One
Ahi Poke
Spam Musubi
Diakon Cakes, Field Greens, Plum Dressing
Char Siu
Saimin with Teriyaki Meat Sticks
Deep-Fried Calamari Salad
Pineapple Fritter, Maui Mango Sauce
SPAM…..Yikes!!! It is very interesting to find out that a canned
meat product is a favorite food item for people who live in Hawaii. This would not have been my first thought considering that there are so many great food ingredients that come from this region. There is a multitude of fresh fish to select from, a plethora of fruit, and tons of fresh vegetables that could make the cut with no problem….but no…SPAM is where it’s at…lol… it was eye opening to know that SPAM Musubi is the equivalent of a sandwich in Hawaii. This was difficult to believe until we discussed more of the history and culture of the region. Would SPAM Musubi be my first choice? Not likely, but there were certainly other very tasty options on the menu that I would definitely order without a second thought..Ahi Poke anyone? Needless to say the cuisines of Hawaii are very eclectic in their origin and flavor profiles. I will definitely have to make a trip to this region in the near future to experience the food, the islands, and the people first hand.
