/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Welcome to the effects of a culture being stamped out by successive waves of occupying invaders. In this case, the U.S. military are the ones that brought SPAM to the islands.

>>10085133
Oh. That's pretty sad.

Hawaiians also eat buckets of macaroni and mayonnaise. But no fish. They never eat fish, or native fruits or vegetables. Just Spam and macaroni salad.

>>10085133
Oh cmon food is one of the most resilient parts of one's culture, mostly because it's one of those things that invaders/colonizers don't bother to ban. If it says anything, the Hawaiians adopted Spam cuisine voluntarily because it tastes good to them.

>>10085133
Thats not the way it went down dumbass. We didnt force anyone to eat spam. They approached us all like "hey brah...wuzin duh can?" They liked it and were all "you got anymore?"

>>10085102
yeah, i wouldn't take much of what they do/say seriously. they're dumber than mississippians, but they're healthier, so who fucking knows.

>>10085150
Are you being sarcastic? Cause you can buy fresh poke at the fucking 7-11 In Hawaii. They eat tons of fish.

maybe they just like spam op ya raciat

yea i went to hawaii this past summer for the first time and wasnt very impressed with the food, but i had already heard about it so i wasnt letdown or anything.i'll dump a few pics
miso octopus poke

>>10086228
shoyu tuna poke

>>10086231
the famous shrimp truck. this is the spicy version. i had the original too and liked it more, but it seems overhyped

>>10086237
forgot where this was but it was just some fast food place. burger was good though

>>10085150

>>10085102
Nah, man, that's just a piece of their cuisine. WW2 came and they needed something to send to the pacific front, and after the war there was such a surplus that they just dumped it on the locals afterwards, and then it sorta took off with piss cheap meat, that with some garlic, some salt, egg and rice can make a fast cheap meal. It also makes for great Musubi which also so easy and cheap to make, while also being good, that everyone makes and has some, even at the gas stations. Spam is good dude, you just don't know how to approach it

t. never left Waikiki and only went to tourist spots

>>10086273
on the money. i was only there for a few days and wanted to do touristy things. next time when i go ill have to do some actual research

>>10085102
I lived there for a few years. Yeah, there's a lot of junk food. They do have a weird fetish for canned meat. The other foods I think typify Hawaiian cuisine are rice, pork, fish, and tropical fruit. Think polynesian soul food.

>fucking spam on rice is the epitome of Hawaiian cuisine

>>10086239
I fucking loved haleiwa. Did you go to matsumoto's?

>>10086538
I'm a fucking idiot and didn't even see the that the bag was from matstmoto's. Wow

>>10085137
*rad

>>10086268
Alaska has a big pacific islander population so we have this shit at the gas stations, I fucking love it

>>10086588

Same with the PNW and to a lesser degree NorCal. Hawaii bros don't want to move too far away from the ocean when they go to the mainland, apparently.

>>10086237
>served with shell on

>>10086268
id eat it. rather have a sweet teriyaki dippping sauce for it than standard soy, im thinkin. what comes with it?

>>10086390
pork cant be traditional either

>>10085102
>Americans eat over processed junk food
Who would of thought it?

>>10086770

You don't dip musubi. Usually the spam has some teriyaki glaze on it, along with maybe some furikake.

>>10086773

The original settlers brought domesticated pigs to Hawaii 1000 years before Captain Cook. Pork is a far more traditional Hawaiian food than is rice.

>>10086841
ah

>>10086784
>would of
Europeans are illiterate peons. Who "would of" thought?

>>10086538

>>10086762

Looks pretty cheap, you get what you pay for.

Best Hawaiian food coming through.

>>10087112
Wait hold on, you eat the shells?

>>10088947
I prefer a nice simple spicy poke but yeah laulau is legit

>>10088960
if its a smaller shrimp and especially if its fried yeah. it's not bad

>>10085441
I can't believe anyone is this stupid.

>>10089070
I can't believe anyone this stupid would try to call out anyone else.

Need to pay up some cash and get into an authentic luau. Me and my senpai had a great time and the food was delicious.
