Field Documentary

Something I didn't remember about Hawaii is that there are a bunch of wild chickens! In 1992, Hurricane Iniki hit the island of Kauai hard, destroying many chicken coops and releasing domestic chickens into the wild. The lack of natural predators and favorable climates has allowed them to thrive.

Portuguese immigrants came to Honolulu in the late 1800s to work the sugar plantations and brought their food with them: delicious linguiça (sausage) and malasadas (donuts)

Fluffy sugared donuts stuffed with ube and coconut cream. What else do you need to know?

Poke

Once you've had poke in Hawaii you are absolutely ruined forever. Tender, saucy, sesame salmon like pillows on the tongue!
