I'd say I like the mainlander's idea of a poke bowl better than ours. You guys have more varied toppings. Typically we don't have a choice - it's just poke on hot rice. The mainlanders think of it more as a salad. That's a good idea. I'm a little surprised that people in Chicago would want to try masago, pickled ginger, seaweed salad, or raw fish. Jalapenos and poke sounds great!

Poke has exploded in this state in the past decade, people buy it at supermarkets to eat it at home and they go out and buy poke bowls for lunch and dinner. Hawaii has always liked sashimi but I wonder if we're eating too much raw fish.

Dude, we've had sushi bars here in Ann Arbor since the 1970s. Why
should a big city like Chicago be any less cosmopolitan?

I haven't looked recently, but I think I can buy seaweed salad at
one of the Kroger stores here. You seem to have a very antiquated
idea of life on the mainland.

I can get sushi on the mainland but chances are slim that I'll be able to get my paws on a poke bowl - unless you know something that I don't know. I doubt that my ideas are antiquated but I am always surprised at how things are different when I do get over there.

If you want to trade personal jabs, I will say that, like most people in your profession, you have a certain inflexibility with words and tend to take things too literally. Your turn dude.

Poke bowls are all the rage on the mainland at present. That and bubble
tea shops must account for 90% of new restaurant openings around here.
Dudes!

"Island" food has been coming along here in the last few years, there are several places, actually MANY I see:

https://www.yelp.com/search?find_des...hicago%2C +IL

It's kind of an update of the old "Polynesian" cuisine that was once popular, I guess...

Sushi/Asian has been very thick on the ground here for decades now, they're a very popular category...even small towns have Thai, etc., restos.

That's good news. Hopefully, everything will be in place for my next trip to the mainland.

Generally, food trends follow immigration trends. We don't have a lot
of Hawaiians here. There are some restaurants experimenting with poke,
here in Ann Arbor, and in nearby Detroit.

Of course I take things literally. Symbols have meaning.

I understand that and it has served you well. My father-in-law was like that - it served him well. My mom may have been that way. She and my father-in-law worked together in the data processing section of the Army. They were both good at whatever the heck they were doing.

I figured this would happen sooner or later. Once you guys start serving fruit punch, the takeover of mainlander's tastes will be complete.

It's cubes of raw fish marinated in a sauce. When I was growing up the sauce was mostly shoyu based. About 10 years ago a sauce made of Sriracha, mayo, and masago, made it's appearance and changed the nature of poke into something quite lively. Poke just exploded and the rest is history.

It is pronounced Po-key. If you want to get fancy, Po-kay.

There's a Hawaiian music program on public radio here in Seattle on
weekends. Not so much Hawaiian food. I stumbled upon some fusion-y place
that had something called aloha fries which turned out to be awesome.
Also SPAM sliders.

Well that's interesting. I'd go there. In the future, car culture will be dead but car and hot rod theme restaurants will help us remember those times.. If you're lucky, the Hawaiian toast will look something like this.

Poke and Ramen are all the rage this year.
Sushi's been on the decline as trendy, and last year was a big Korean BBQ
year.

Furious Spoon just opened a second location over by my house, and people
rave about the Poke bowl. I had one of their trademark ramen's, because
the doofuses were "out of rice, but if you can wait 10 min..."

Maybe I'll get myself one tomorrow for lunch.

It's French toast made with sweet bread. Make sure you cut it thick enough!

Portuguese sweet bread has been a popular bakery item over here since before I was born. We mostly got it from bakeries until King's Bakery got the idea to sell it in supermarkets. Then they had the idea to sell it on the mainland and change the name to "King's Hawaiian Sweet Bread" and the rest is history.

Portuguese sweetbread is mostly made at home by old Portuguese ladies in big batches. It is a yellowish bread that traditionally contains potato and eggs. The recipes for Hawaiian bread that I've seen typically contain pineapple juice which is not an ingredient in King's or any other sweetbread made commercially. It's confusing alright.

French toast made with sweetbread is a popular breakfast item in restaurants and it's easy enough to make at home - if you can get your hands on some sweetbread.

With the advent of mainlanders eating more raw fish, the shit is sure to hit the fan. If you guys started using sticks to eat instead of a small pitchfork, obesity might be less of a problem.

OTOH, it really bugs me to see Japanese cooks using chopsticks to stir food. That's like rowing a boat with broomsticks.

We'd probably be the skinniest state if it wasn't for those Samoans and Tongans but you didn't hear me say that.

Does it seem to be an effective technique for them?

I looked up Portuguese sweetbread and I now have some recipes) I make
all our bread but I have never made anything like this)

Thanks very much)

By Western standards, the technique is simply ludicrous. The Japanese, however, are perfectly happy with it. Perhaps it gives them time to contemplate on any number of things. My guess is that the practice will rapidly die out.

I have tried to make sweetbread in bread machines. None of then have been real successful. The old school way is to boil a potato and mash it up and use the water the potato was boiled in. I'll have to try it like that - or not. We have sweetbread all over this island.

=======================

I have heard of using potato before, but I have never used it. I might look
into it.

I do have a breadmaker but I don't use it very often. I bought it when I
was ill and D didn't like bought bread. In a recipe like this I would use
my mixer because I have problems with my hands now. The old arfur yannow)

This is the recipe I saved. I will probably make it quite soon because D
has a very sweet tooth and he is going to love it

He is still in love with my no knead bread <g> When I suggest making
something different he objects ... strongly <g>

If it works, it probably won't die out.

The Portuguese have their own ways when making this bread. The dough is made quite soft and the rise times are pretty long - 4 to 5 hours. The bread is sometimes cooked in a round pan that makes the loaves come out in the shape of a large muffin. They bake the bread at a lower temperature - under 300 degrees for about an hour for a large loaf. During Easter, they'll embed some raw eggs in the dough to cook while it's baking.

Here's a guy that uses more traditional methods i.e., French, in making sweet bread.

It's a traditional method that will die out precisely because it doesn't work.

The Portuguese have their own ways when making this bread. The dough is made
quite soft and the rise times are pretty long - 4 to 5 hours. The bread is
sometimes cooked in a round pan that makes the loaves come out in the shape
of a large muffin. They bake the bread at a lower temperature - under 300
degrees for about an hour for a large loaf. During Easter, they'll embed
some raw eggs in the dough to cook while it's baking.

Here's a guy that uses more traditional methods i.e., French, in making
sweet bread.

=================

I love the way he worked with that dough! Do you by any chance have the
Portuguese recipe? I doubt I would embed an egg, but I would love it have a
go at making it their way.

Oh and thanks))

I don't have any recipe but will try to come up with one of my own after seeing what's out there. Most likely it will involve a potato. Here's how one lady makes it.

Thanks very much. I have made all notes from the video! That is a huge
amount. I might cut that down by half. Do share your recipe when you do
your own??

I look forward to your potato stuff.
