That thing that looks like a tomato is a watermelon slice.

The red and pink stuff is lomi lomi salmon and it's a dish you won't find anywhere but here although I suppose you could call it Hawaiian style ceviche. Da Hawaiians love the stuff and it's dead simple to make. My wife told me they had 2 large trays of the stuff left over. That's about 200 servings. Hoo boy.

Poi is cooked and mashed taro root. It's the Pacific islander's equivalent of the Irish potato. Typically it's allowed to ferment for a few days. 1 day old poi is about right for most folks, 3 day old poi is pretty hardcore.
