Perfected spam. lol. They barely cook spam in hawaii(disgusting) pink spam really. its one of the easiest things to cook how do you mess that up? Spam has been used in many different ways and including on rice before. Its not a hawaiian food. Its an american poor man food. Most food in hawaii is a mix of JAPANESE and AMERICAN backyard food fusion. Such as Fried chicken, mac salad, teri chicken/steak, Loco moco (not local moco which means crazy booger in spanish hence influenced by the portuguese, etc. Most traditional hawaiian food is not eaten in Hawaii anymore. Thats why you got spam on your list, one of the most american food icons. Shave ice is the asian name for SNOW CONES because how the immigrant asians described it when it was introduced to them. In my opinion the worst thing about Hawaii is the food. Nothing ever new to eat here but noodles and raw fish. Sometimes I feel like Tom Hanks in Castaway. Enough with all the hype, let the truth be told. By the way I am Japanese American and born and raised in Hawaii.

Some do look like they are straight hawaiian dishes as in started in Hawaii. Teri ribs sounds like teriyaki sauce on ribs(japanese) and chinese style barbecue ribs explains itself. There might be others but I would have to rewatch the video. They might be considered hawaiian foods because a large chunk of asians moved there one or two generations ago and the asians born from those people consider themselves hawaiian. This doesn't make certain foods hawaiian though. I consider it hawaiian food if the dish started in hawaii and not just migrated with the people especially migration only a couple generations old. Maybe a recipe that migrated a long time (or even recently)and then they tweaked it enough to make it different then maybe I would consider it hawaiian. Chocolate coconut pie and fried mahi mahi are safe bets for native hawaiian dishes.

I like a lot of flavorings of Hawaii and Polynesia. Spam? I'm a fan regardless of style. Flame grilled, plain, splashed in teryaki, olive oil, chili seasoning, slow-basted with a honey-yellow-mustard-ketchup glaze, fresh out of the can, I'm good with any of it, even chopped in a skillet with worcestershire, peppers, and onions. I just hate rice. And raw fish, and cooked fish. And any egg that doesn't make up an ingredient in either batter or pastry. Is there a recipe for Spam, Portuguese sausage, bbq ribs, an ocean salad side dish, a malasadas donut dessert, and a laulau? Is that the right spelling for a luau? Pork slow roasted in a pit wrapped in palm fronds over charcoal and buried? A sort of ceremony involving the slow-smoke pork, while actually making the pork?

I live on that side of the island, if you want good Loco Moco on the Leeward side, i'd recommend Hannara in Waianae as have good hamburgers and gravy. If you're in Kapolei, En Fuego has the best Garlic Chicken/Spicy Garlic Chicken/Mochiko Chicken on this side. If you want good Hawaiian food, Highway Inn in Waipahu is the best place to go, they're known for their beef stew. If you get that, don't forget to add the chili pepper water to spice it up.

Everybody saying negative things about local food, I know it's not the healthiest foods. That's obvious, but like Mark said eat in moderation. Balance diet and exercise. I live here and I love my local food. I just don't overeat. I'm not fat. That's all it takes. Every state has unhealthy food Lol look at the southern states where I grew up as a prime example. Everything is fried and/or in gravy.

It's like Mark was squatting on a toilet while making this video. Make's no sense he chose that angle. If you added some special sound effects, like gun fire, he could be a war correspondent hunkering down avoiding bullets overhead. Either way, it is the strangest camera angle he as chosen of all the videos I've seen him produce. There's got to be a logical explanation.

Most poke in Hawaii is imported to keep the price affordable which also comes with carbon monoxide to keep its color red. The real fresh and best is Tamashiro market they move lots of poke and buys from fish auction daily. Anything below 12. 99 a lb most likely is frozen and imported.

NOTHING beats a plate of Lau Lau, 2 scoop rice, 1 scoop macaroni salad after a day at da beach. Or you can wait for da manapua man and get some manapua, fried noodles and a orange passion drink. Dont forget to go up the north shore and gets a plate of Garlic Shrimp and rice

I like waiola but the ice is way too fine, matsumotos is best: )I've been to matsomotos about 6 times, last time I had the green tea special, which was green tea shave ice with ice cream, beans, and condensed milk. By far the best shave ice i've ever had
