Yes I am in total agreement with you on your Polynesian food choices @LadyRae the first question that I ask the locals is where and what is the best foods they like to eat. The tuna there compares to nothing else that I have experienced. The kidney recipe you posted was fantastic just to let you know.Well my grandparents bought a condo in Kona in the mid-70s and so I spent a lot of time there... You definitely see lots of spam varieties in the grocery stores but honestly it's the Asian influence that most attracts me. Foods like raw octopus pokey and scallops... Really cheap Island grass fed beef liver and other beef cuts, incredible papayas, cucumbers, oranges and mangoes, inexpensive sushi grade tuna that is delicious raw dipped in hot sauce...
