Broke Da Mouth: Local Food - An Introduction
http://broke-da-mouth.blogspot.com/2011/01/first-post.html
Tuesday, January 18, 2011. Local Food - An Introduction. Welcome to Broke Da Mouth, a blog dedicated to local (Hawaiian) cuisine and the people who eat it! So whether you’re a seasoned local, a curious mainlander, a cooking enthusiast, or just a broke, hungry college student, there’s something here for you. Hawaiians (despite my stereotypical stock photo, please note that Hawaiians do not all dress like this, nor necessarily dance hula). A distinction to be made, and it's one of those things that locals ...

Broke Da Mouth: Shave Ice - More Than Just a Snow Cone
http://broke-da-mouth.blogspot.com/2011/02/shave-ice.html
Tuesday, February 8, 2011. Shave Ice - More Than Just a Snow Cone. As a local kid living on the mainland, I often get asked what I miss most about Hawaii. Ordinarily I'll pick my reply from a bevy of relevant answers from the weather, beaches, and scenery to the atmosphere and the people. But as you may recall, this blog is dedicated to food and Hawaii, so let’s cut to the chase and talk about what really matters: the GRINDZ! To even the most clueless of mainlanders: shave ice. Furthermore, unlike “...

Broke Da Mouth: SPAMtacular - A Word on SPAM in Hawaii
http://broke-da-mouth.blogspot.com/2011/01/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-ja-x.html
Tuesday, January 25, 2011. SPAMtacular - A Word on SPAM in Hawaii. This week, we’re going to talk SPAM. Not the spam that promises miracle diets, free iPads, and “natural male enhancement,” SPAM, the Hormel-brand luncheon meat product (yes, Hormel. Insists that you spell it in all capitals). You may have heard that people from Hawaii have an unusual predilection for SPAM and dismissed it as a silly stereotype, but if there’s one generalization about locals that hits the mark, this is it: we love. Forget ...

Broke Da Mouth: Hamburger Curry - Local Dining on a Budget
http://broke-da-mouth.blogspot.com/2011/02/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-ja-x.html
Tuesday, February 1, 2011. Hamburger Curry - Local Dining on a Budget. Ah, the joys of college life, where “cooking dinner” means microwaving a can of Chef Boyardee, cup noodles are an honorary food group, and the only thing emptier than your wallet is your stomach. For freshmen, it is almost a rite of passage to suffer through months of overpriced cafeteria food and MSG-laden instant meals, but somewhere around the 16. If you want to be technical, local curry probably has the most in common with Japanes...

Tuesday, February 15, 2011. Crack Seed - Unusually Delicious. Do you have any idea what these are? Would you ever consider putting one in your mouth? Unless you happen to be a born-and-bred local or were raised in a traditional Chinese family, probably not. What if I told you that it was a dried, shriveled, salted plum that has a very strong flavor that is sweet, sour, and salty all at once? Most would still politely decline. The spread at my favorite crack seed store in Kaimuki. The quintessential crack...
