That can't be right. According to Rick Santorum the Native Americans
added nothing to the country. He also lost his job at CNN for saying that.

What great contributions did your state make to the American culinary scene? Lipton Onion Soup? Kool-ade? We gave you guys on the mainland sugar and pineapple and loco mocos and poke and Hawaiian Sweet bread and poi. Yoose guys are so proud of eating healthy but are totally ignorant about poi, which could be considered a true superfood. That's the breaks.

Who brought sugar and pineapple to Hawaii? White men.

What is "Hawaiian Sweet Bread" called in Hawaii?

That leaves you with poi. A bland paste from an agriculturally impoverished
island isn't much of a contribution.

Poi is sometimes a bland paste but it is a superfood and could be the most important food on this planet. As usual, you guys talk about foods you know nothing about. Better stick with grits - that's more your speed!

Many things are a superfood. Cabbage is a superfood. Just not a trendy
superfood.

The difference is that the Hawaiians traveled across the Pacific on a concentrated version of poi. Nobody's ever done that on cabbage or grits. Poi isn't trending but that's a good thing.

The Chinese built the Great Wall of China on cabbage. That doesn't
make cabbage taste any better, though.

I'm a sucker for BK's fish sandwich. It knocked McD's filet 'o fish off
the top for me to fall number two. If I could handle the high sodium,
cholesterol, MSG I'd eat four of those a day. It's a once-a-month treat
for me. I love Burger King's burgers more than McD. There's more beef in
that bun. McD's big mac is a joke these days. It shrank and it's more
bread than anything. I'm not fond of any fast food fries other than
in-and-out normal fries. They're made fresh in the store so that can't
be beat in my opinion.

Now that I'm back on a powerlifting schedule, daily protein is key. If
it were to come down to emergency protein injection, McD's double
quarter pounder sans the bun would be my choice. Otherwise, McD isn't on
my radar. That burger has consistently been given the highest protein
award when compared to other fast food brands.

The best burger I've ever had no longer exists. It was made at my local
public golf course's club house. The owner punched out the burgers every
morning by mixing brisket, rib, and round. Buns locally made and
delivered every other day. Red leaf lettuce, grilled onions and house
made aioli finished to perfection. Ahh, memories. Every bite of the
burger was as good as the first time ever tasting it. I never grew tired
of it. Then, ownership of that business changed and the burger died with
it. Now, their burger is about as good as you could expect with frozen
patties, mass produced buns, and veiny thick slices of iceberg lettuce.

You talk about foods you know nothing about. Pot. Kettle. Black.

And I see you cravenly ignored sugar, pineapple, and Portuguese sweet bread..

The Vikings, travelled across the North Atlantic without any poi. The
British, French, Spanish and Portuguese had regular shipping routes
across all the oceans in the world, and all without poi.

Oh bully for them, and the Vikings get short shrift again!

https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35935725

A new discovery has revealed that the Vikings may have travelled
hundreds of miles further into North America than previously thought.
It's well known that they reached the tip of the continent more than
1,000 years ago, but the full extent of their exploration has remained a
mystery, writes historian Dan Snow.

> Hawaiians addition. Poi maybe? Didn't catch on.

How insensitive and ill-educated of you.

Lau lau
It may look like a green ball of leaves (because it is) but lau lau is
an island favorite. A piece of meat, fish, and fat for flavor is
sprinkled with sea salt and individually hand wrapped with taro leaves.
Traditionally, lau lau were placed into an imu (underground oven) to
cook, but today locals tie them with string or wrap them in foil to be
steamed. Visitors can try one at any plate lunch spot or buy them
precooked at the grocery store.

Poke
Hawaiis favorite raw fish dish is now trending all over the world. The
original poke recipe didnt include spicy mayo, but instead was seasoned
with pa"akai (Hawaiian sea salt), inamona (chopped roasted candlenuts),
and limu (seaweed). This basic combination of ingredients can be found
at all poke counters in Hawaii and truly lets the quality of the fresh
seafood shine.

K�lua pork
This juicy pork dish is on every Hawaiian restaurant and luau menu.
Unlike typical shredded pork, a full pig is cooked for hours in an imu
to create the k�lua porks unique smokey flavor. Nowadays, locals add
cabbage to the mix and usually pair it with rice and macaroni salad to
create an iconic plate lunch.

Kulolo
Kulolo is another dish made with kalo (taro) root, grated coconut, and
coconut milk. 80% of all taro in the state comes from Kauaʻi and any
local will tell you that the Garden Isle also has the best kulolo
around€”luckily it can be found on the other islands as well. This sticky
dessert is normally steamed or baked in ti leaves and has a consistency
similar to grainy Japanese mochi.

Why are you such a bigot on Hawaiian food?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_cuisine_of_Hawaii

Native Hawaiian cuisine is based on the traditional Hawaiian foods that
predate contact with Europeans and immigration from East and Southeast
Asia. The earliest Polynesian seafarers are believed to have arrived on
the Hawaiian Islands in 300-500 AD.[a] Few edible plants were indigenous
to Hawaiʻi aside from a few ferns and fruits that grew at higher
elevations. Various food-producing plants were introduced to the island
by migrating Polynesian peoples.

Botanists and archaeologists believe that these voyagers introduced
anywhere from 27 to more than 30 plants to the islands, mainly for
food.[1] The most important of them was taro.[2] For centuries, taro€”and
the poi made from it€”was the main staple of the Hawaiian diet, and it is
still much loved. ʻUala (sweet potatoes) and yams were also planted. The
Marquesans, the first settlers from Polynesia, brought ʻulu (breadfruit)
and the Tahitians later introduced the baking banana. Settlers from
Polynesia also brought coconuts and sugarcane.[3]

ʻAwa (Piper methysticum, kava) is also a traditional food among
Hawaiians. Breadfruit, sweet potato, kava, and heʻe (octopus) are
associated with the four major Hawaiian gods: K�ne, Kū, Lono and Kanaloa.[4]

Fish, shellfish, and limu are abundant in Hawaii.[1] Flightless birds
were easy to catch and eggs from nests were also eaten.[1] Most Pacific
islands had no meat animals except bats and lizards.[5]

Ancient Polynesians sailed the Pacific with pigs, chickens, and
Polynesian dogs, and introduced them to the islands.[5] Pigs were raised
for religious sacrifice, and the meat was offered at altars, some of
which was consumed by priests and the rest eaten in a mass
celebration.[5] The early Hawaiian diet was diverse, and may have
included as many as 130 different types of seafood and 230 types of
sweet potatoes.[6] Some species of land and sea birds were consumed into
extinction.[7]

Sea salt was a common condiment in ancient Hawaiʻi.[8] Inamona is a
traditional relish or condiment often accompanied meals and is made of
roasted and mashed kukui nutmeats, and sea salt. It sometimes mixed with
edible seaweed.[8]


What, were you raised on Chef Boyardee and Oscar Mayer cold cuts???

Indeed they did it all without poi. What's your point?
