Dono if i could eat that on my first vist to Hawaii …. I would need to gragually get used to your food I think = S The black LAU LAU stuff looks like… = x
sorry I’m too visual Hawaiian food = (
I took a cook book out from the library recently by Levi Roots… I’m going to try make some of his stuff = p
His sauce is amazing!
I wish I could’ve been there. :*(
Next time
Has to be Pok’e!
LOL I actually had to take leftovers home because I was busy shooting this. It was great though, because while people were eating froyo, I was chowing on this.
Yay! You folks are kewl with your open minds and taste buds.
Ditto my response to lowkeyname:
Righto re: Hawaiian Pizza…
Seriously, it’s yum.
That’s the spirit! heh
Heh!
Righto re: Hawaiian Pizza…
Glad to help “be the bridge” er connection to Hawaii ~
Marvelous! I love Canada (got to visit beautiful Vancouver).
Yeah ancient Hawaiians didn’t incorporate tofu…
I will try all of it. LOL.
I never had Hawaiian food. I’d like to try some!
I would like to try loco moco!?And poi!
I have never had Hawaiian food. But I have had Hawaiian pizza made hear in California, which is probably not a real Hawaiian pizza.
ill try anything once
Aside from Pineapple which I am allergic to, I have never eaten anything I know to be Hawaiian. I of course never believed that Pizza Hut Hawaiian was actually Hawaiian. Before Traci my Hawaiian connection was watching Jack Lord chase bad guys.
I am canadaen so im not famealer with the dishes but when i come i would like to try some
yes – but i like all kinds of food as long as there is no Tofu involved…
Since you’re from Germany… a meat lover?
E komo mai (Hawaiian for Welcome) to Hawaii where you can have authentic Hawaiian food!
According to Wikipedia, it is native to the southern part of Brazil, and Paraguay.
You’re obviously not far off – pineapple was a major industry in Hawaii. I still enjoy getting tours at Dole Cannery, where they have cute pineapple crops growing there. *The* best thing ever though IMO: Dole pineapple cone
any recommondations for me? i just saw the Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations” about Hawaii – so many good looking stuff there but i cant keep the names
i never had Hawaiian food
