Ted. An
important element in every culture is food. Can there be a better to learn
about a region than by eating?
In the Pacific Northwest, we
enjoyed local beers and wines. We savored fresh salmon and witnessed Asian
influences in many restaurants.
Now that we are in Hawaii, we
are trying Polynesian dishes such as poi, poke and kalua pork and cabbage.
Honolulu has, by far, the largest Japanese population in the US so it’s also a
great place for dishes such as sushi, udon and tempura. Check out google to
learn more about these dishes.

Wherever we go, we try to hit
up a local farmers market. Whether it’s a small town in Georgia or a big city
like Honolulu, you’re bound to find local delicacies that are difficult to find
as well as regional dishes prepared to satisfy the cooks toughest critics,
their own neighbors. Here’s link to a video I took this Saturday. Notice that
everyone is either eating, or searching for food.
Hawaii is a rich stew of Polynesian, Asian and
European cultures. Like polite attendees
at a potluck, Judy and I are doing our best to get a taste of everything before
we leave.
