Beats the heck out of me why people have to pose as experts in things they know nothing about. I got a better chance of being a guru on the traditions and foods of Brooklyn than yoose on the subject of anything Hawaiian.

These islands sprang out of the middle of nowhere. Every plant and animal here had to be introduced. Obviously, pineapple and taro was not native to these islands because nothing is. Who cares? The immigrants to these islands brought their foods and traditions when they arrived and we embraced the peoples and their culture. Ain't nobody telling anybody to go back where they came from.
