Hawaiian Culture Moment...

on Wednesday, March 18, 2009

So one of the great things about living in Hawaii (other than the nice weather) is the culture. Nowhere else can you find a place that has designated Spam as it's state food! Yeah that's right, Spam. They love it. It's served at McDonalds and Burger King for breakfast. They even go so far as to make sushi-like wraps out of it called "Spam Musubi". It's actually not bad....here, have a look


It's really not as bad as it sounds, although I would have probably argued someone on this point before I ate it for myself. I've actually come to like fried spam with eggs, it's kinda like ham...but not, haha.


Hawaiian local (non-traditional) food is a cross between asian and white-trash delights! Say for instance if you order a "Plate Lunch" it will often consist of Chicken Katsu (breaded chicken with barbecue like sauce), rice, and macaroni salad with a slice of spam. Hmmm, interesting food combos to be sure!


Anyway, that's all for today (this one was for you grandma), I'll put a garden update on here soon.
