Just Because it has Pineapple, Doesn't Make it Hawaiian!!

from JoeUser Forums
Listen up, mainlanders...

Just 'cause you put pineapple in it, doesn't mean you've created a Hawaiian dish!

You put pineapple on your pizza. So what? Now it's Pineapple Pizza. It AIN'T Hawaiian Pizza, and I don't care what Papa Johns says.

Your chicken dish has green bell peppers and terriyaki sauce and pineapple chunks. It's not Waikiki Chicken! It's Terriyaki Chicken with Pineapples and Green Bell Peppers!

Yeah, yeah, the pineapple symbolizes hospitality and aloha...but it does NOT define Hawaiian cusuine!

You know what they eat here?

Loco Moco...rice under greasy hamburger meat with brown gravy and a fried egg on top

Fried Spam...sliced thin and fried to a crisp

Spam Musubi...rectangle of sushi rice topped with a thick slice of fried Spam and secured with a strip of Nori (seaweed)

Mac Salad...macaroni salad that consists of macaroni noodles and an ungodly amount of mayo

Haupia...a coconut pudding/jello with a bit of a snot consistency

Lomi Lomi Salmon...chopped raw salmon with tomatoes and onions

Poke...raw fish with seaweed and sesame oil

Saimin...basically Ramen noodles (even available at McDonalds)

Arare...sesame crackers

Sushi...sushi is fast food here

Fish, fish, fish, beef, pork, rice, gravy, noodles...these things are what Hawaiians eat!

Pineapples are mostly for selling to you mainland suckers! You wanna call something "Hawaiian" or "Waikiki"? Drown it in mayo or stuff it with Spam, and then we'll talk.

We got choke ono grinds here, brah.

Only because I like you. Hehe.[\quote]

Awww, shucks... Right back at you.

Now ham and pineapple do go together. And taste great together. They just don't belong on pizza together.


I really do like it on a pizza... Must be my unsophistimacated pallet

've heard of polenta, but never tried it. Is it bad?

I’ve eaten polènta several times before. It is actually very tasty. However, every time I have eaten it, it was it a solid, almost fried state. Of course like any cuisine, the preparation can vary greatly from region to region. I’ve eaten it in Florence (however it was cooked by a Pugliese) and have eaten it in the south in Puglia. Can’t say I’ve ever had it as a mush. That being said, it is one of my favorite Italian dishes! As far as I can tell, it is fairly simple to make, I might be able to get you a recipe. Ti voglio tanto bene sis! (Love you lots)


That right ther tells me it was reheated. Polenta is made by "boiling" cornmeal. However a popular way to serve it is let it cool and then slice and fry it. Check the link. Link

I think the intial attraction to Spam for a kid, is the can with the key that it comes in. When you twirl back that little sliver of tin for the first time, and pry the top lid off, eyes widen when you turn the can upside down, and a greasy slab of pink meat falls to the plate.

At least, my daughter looked pretty damned impressed the first time I showed her what it was. She wouldn't actually eat it, though.

I still like the stuff, but only one way. Sliced thin, fried crisp and served with over-medium (dippy) eggs ,hash browns and toast.

Well, I suppose if I can eat jalapeños on my pizza, you can have pineapple on yours.

drmiler: Interesting.

I agree that those key cans are super cool. They put 'em on soup cans now, too, and I love it.

However...SPAM doesn't fall onto the plate...it oozes and slithers...haahahahaha...

That's how the men in my family like it, too. Fried up all crispy and thin. Usually I make it with some white rice and fried or scrambled eggs.

Hahaha, and then at lunch I slice the leftovers into chunks, and take the SPAM and left over rice and add some eggs and spices and turn it into Fried Rice, hehe.

I won't go near SPAM, but you just can't mess up a potato, no matter how you cook it. YUMMY!
