My Hawaiian food entry ...

Spam musubi (grilled spam with a block of rice wrapped in seaweed (nori) sheets) really is a thing, and popular. I got mine at Bishop Museum cafe, but they're available all over in convenience stores. Spam came here with American GIs around the time of WWII, and there was already a Japanese American population... fusion food!
My verdict? Tasty! Beats a soggy sandwich any day. There are plenty of variants, most common is added scrambled egg.Read more

Mochi icecream. Mochi is a type of Japanese rice cake made of a special glutinous rice. The Hawaiians (and I guess others) wrap icecream in mochi so you can hold it. Neat and tasty. So far I've tried choc, strawb, pistachio, lychee and guava 🙄 Those last two perfumed flavours really work mmm mmm!

Moonfish (opah) steak. Thought I'd try moonfish since it was on offer in the supermarket. It's a bit like tuna but less dense and with a very delicate flavour.

It looks like it should be savoury not sweet. You are very brave to try all these new foods, I'm not sure I would be! 😮

On Monday morning Carole was back at her conference and Mike headed to the Bishop Museum which was a really interesting look at Hawaii's history. Some fascinating exhibits told the story of how Hawaii was united under King Kamehameha, and how it eventually became a US territory and state. The cape and helmet below are what Kalaniʻōpuʻu, the king of Hawaii island at the time, placed on Capt. James Cook as a gesture of good will when he arrived at the island. Like many other European explorers to new lands, they thought he was a god.Read more
