I read this like "small kid time" and I borrowed it again just for nostalgia. Today, after a quarter of a century, sadly, a lot of this is just gone. That Hawaii is dead. We have been "haolefied". Enough of it is still relevant enough so that when a visitor comes in, this will be a fun read.

Still fun (and funny) to look through, even if the book came out in 1986. From the introduction, "It's the first-ever dictionary of local foods. No one has ever attempted something like this before. And now that we've done it, we know why."
