Those have a weird flavor when you first start eating them and then it goes away. 

I love the baked flamin hot Cheetos... sometimes I'll eat the whole bag in one sitting. 

I hate Cheetos

Funny enough, the reason I like the baked version is the fact that "weird flavor" is not there like in the fried version. So the baked version tastes less artificial if possible

#1  POI

What it is: Poi is a sticky paste made by mashing taro (kalo) root, and tastes delicious mixed with almost any item on the Hawaiian plate. Taro is the low-calorie staple that ancient Hawaiians ate with most meals; it was considered the life force. Taro probably arrived in Hawaii between 200 to 500 A.D. along with the earliest Polynesians that came to the islands. At one time, Hawaiians cultivated more than 300 varieties.

How it’s made: By mashing the root of taro with a poi pounder while adding water until it’s the right amount of mushy and gooey. Many say poi tastes best a few days old, with fermentation giving it a slightly sour taste. If you don’t have time to hand-pound your poi, you can also make it in a mixer.

#2 LOMI SALMON

What it is: This dish is made with cured raw salmon that’s diced and mixed with tomatoes, onions, and occasionally hot peppers. Lomi salmon is made entirely of post-contact ingredients: In the late 1700s, whalers and merchants arrived in the islands, bringing with them salted fish, and in 1791 Don Francisco de Paula Marin, an influential Spaniard, came to Hawaii, bringing tomatoes and onions.

How it’s made: Lomi in Hawaiian means “to massage,” and the name is taken from how the dish is prepared — the ingredients are massaged together with the salted fish. It is always served cold and often mixed with poi when eaten.

#3  LAU LAU

What it is: In Hawaiian, lau lau means “leaf leaf,” because it is made with layers of ti leaves and taro leaves wrapped around pig and fish. It’s slow-cooked in an underground rock oven (imu) for many hours until it is soft and smoky. The taro leaves become very tender and are edible, while the long ti leaves are used to retain the flavor and are inedible. Ancient Hawaiians used ti leaves to wrap and store or cook many different types of foods. The ancient Polynesians who came on canoes to Hawaii brought pigs (puaa) and ti leaves as well as this cooking technique with them. Western contact has created new versions of this dish with other meats inside, such as beef, and other cooking techniques.

How it’s made: In an imu. A modern version can also be made in a crock pot.

Burger and beer.  

 That looks good

Will u marry me @toodarnhot?

Instead of chicken or fish as I thought at first, I decided on a omelette with caramelized onions, smoked ham, and spinach And of course, to top off the omelette was 2 slices of pepper jack cheese and 2 giant slivers of avocado.

^ Is that the 1 kg avocado?  

^ Yes it came from that one Dude, one of the best avocados I have every tasted!

#4 PURPLE SWEET POTATO

What it is: Sweet potato (uala) were brought to Hawaii on canoes with the earliest Polynesians who came to the islands. Ancient Hawaiians grew over 200 varieties ofuala, but only a few varieties are still cultivated today. Each has its own taste, but they tend to have a soft texture and floral flavor. The leaves of the plant are also edible.

How it’s made: Sweet potatoes can be grilled, steamed, or baked in an oven or in animu. Cooked, skinned, and mashed uala makes a sweet potato poi when mixed with water.

#5 KALUA PIG

What it is: Kalua means “to bake in the ground oven,” which gives the pig its signature smoky taste. The kalua pig is traditionally wrapped in ti leaves, which are inedible, but help the meat retain its flavor.

How it’s made: This dish is cooked over many hours in an imu, which makes it extremely juicy and tender. You can find more details about how to make kalua pighere. A modern version can also be made in a slow cooker.
