Most Americans? dsi1 forgets Hawaii is a US State. Ketchup on eggs is
not a Hawaiian thing. Ditto shoyu (soy sauce) on rice. Spam is made in
Minnesota. All of these things are commonly eaten on the mainland.
Taro, not so much but then it isn't grown on the mainland. Not because
we can't, simply because it's not particularly tasty. Most of us don't
eat poi so there is no need to grow taro or harvest the roots or use the
leaves. The Hispanics in my area cook with green bananas and use the
leaves to wrap and steam tamales.
