salt and hanging to dry
until the outside is dry
and the inside is still soft
and tender.

the Hawaiian verb for
"section" or "to slice or cut".

(appetizer). There are many
variations of poke from
raw fish to edamame.

massage” in Hawaiian; it
refers to a preparation
which traditionally
requires massaging foods
together to blend
the flavors.
Rich & sweet, the traditional
Hawaiian recipe calls for
heated coconut milk to be
mixed with ground pia
(arrowroot) until the mixture
vthickens. It is one of many
Hawaiian “comfort foods."

by locals to anything
from fruit to island
