Hawaiian foods
これまで半年ほど、一緒に英語の勉強をしていた先生が、12月・1月はお休みされることになりました。その間に、このリサーチメモも、ここまでの記録が追いつけるようにしようと思います(笑)。
そして、代わりに他の先生と少し勉強することにしましたので、また別の話題を記していくことになるかもしれません。
今日は、ハワイの食べ物の話を書きます。
Hawaiian food that I will talk about is not “Loco Food”.
Loco Food is a modern Hawaiian food, for example, locomoco, garlic shrimp. I love Loco food!...lol
Traditional Hawaiian food was made by ingredients immigrants brought in.
Immigrants brought a lot of things. Taro plant, sweet potato, banana, sugar cane, coconut, turmeric, kukui and so on….
I introduce representative Hawaiian foods.
Poi:It is steamed and mashed Taro plant.
Laulau:It is steamed Taro young leaves and meat, wrapping by tea leaf.
Kahlua pig:It is a whole pig steamed.
Haupia :It is a dessert made from coconut milk.
When they cooked, they dig a big hole in the ground and lay lava rock over. They made it heated. After that, they put foodstuffs on the hot rock, covered them by banana leaves, waited about 8 hours.
It was hard work. Cooking was male work.
From Mid 1800s, they grow rice for Asian immigrants.
Hawaii used to be not rich in food. There was not so many plant.
So they felt a strong fear about hunger.
Because of this, in ancient Hawaii the requirement for a beautiful woman was to be fat.
I felt it is interesting.
Eating is a banquet with gods for them. It had religious meaning.
教えてもらった「ハウピア」を試しに作ってみました。レシピ通りだと砂糖が多すぎると思ったので控えめにしましたが(それでもかなり大量に入れた)、十分でした。美味しかった。簡単だしまた作りたい。
