OT Kauai Recommendations.....

read my link...it was imported to Hawaii in the 1800s before Hawaii was a state....Portuguese also colonized Macau and Taiwan way back in those days

 

Mexican chorizo doesn't have pineapple bro or brown sugar or soy sauce

 

Yeah, you go to a plate lunch spot and ask for Chorizo they'll choke you out though. Fuckin' Haoles. :MARIS61:

 

not my Hawaiian friends.....I've had hundreds of breakfasts with locals who introduced me to the stuff....the Portuguese are a big part of local Hawaiian culture bro...

 

yeah, they call it Portugese Sausage then, not Chorizo. Literally no one calls it Chorizo.

 

Portuguese also brought the tiple and uke to Hawaii....most people think the uke is a Hawaiian instrument but the Portuguese called it the quatro.....

 

dude...it's on the menu board at the Hilo café and every breakfast shop on the Big Island....sorry...I know this to be true

 

yeah, along with some mimosas, avocado toast and smoked salmon bennies. i ain't down with that yo.

 

jk, I love smoked salmon bennies.

 

this is accurate:

 

I'm not down with the fried spam...avocados in the islands taste like steak and butter though...best I've ever tasted

 

Costco is also a good place to stock up if you have a kitchen in your rental. Like pineapples are pretty dope there if they're local. Good poke too.

 

I used to buy a tuna from the fishermen in Hilo Bay for 2 bucks...take it to the local pub and the bartender would make poki for everyone...good way to make friends in Hawaii...take food to share at the pub.....they love you when you do that...Hawaiian folk are great fun

 

You can do that on youtube.com, without needlessly risking your life.

 

Don't know if it's still around but I did that at the Reuben M Fleet Space Museum in San Diego in a 360 degree theatre...also had river rafting all over the country....great way to have an armchair adventure

There's a Costco right by the airport. Were there for 8 days. Might go there, but there is a Foodland? pretty close to us. House has a full kitchen.

 

fruit stands are cheap....papayas are the best..lilikoi (small guava) bananas...if you've got a blender you're set dude

 

The avocados I got in Hilo you could cut in half...they're enormous...fill the center with some poki and not even need a bowl...just split one between two people and just chuck the skin when you're done eating

 

Groceries are expensive in hawaii. I'd get stuff you'd use a lot in a week at Costco like a 18 pack of eggs, drinks, snacks, etc. I remember the pineapples being awesome...Maui gold I think. Maybe booze too will be a lot cheaper.

For meats, fish and that kind of stuff you would want to buy more frequent I would just get at food land.
