Modern cuisine of Hawaii is a fusion of many cuisines brought by multi-ethnic immigrants to the islands, particularly of American, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Polynesian and Portuguese origins, and including food sources from plants and animals imported for Hawaiian agricultural use from all over the world. Many local restaurants serve the ubiquitous plate lunch featuring the Asian staple, two scoops of rice, a simplified version of American macaroni salad (usually consisting of only macaroni noodles and mayonnaise), and a variety of different toppings ranging from the hamburger patty, a fried egg, and gravy of a Loco Moco, Japanese style Tonkatsu or the traditional lu'au favorite, Kalua Pig.

Ancient Hawaii (300 AD – 1778)

Taro, Colocasia esculenta

When Polynesians from the South Pacific arrived on the Hawaiian Islands, few edible plants existed in the new land, so they had to rely on their own. The most important of them was taro.^[1] For centuries taro was the main staple of their diet, and it is still served at important ceremonial occasions. Where taro would not grow, sweet potatoes were planted. The Marquesans brought breadfruit and the Tahitians introduced the baking banana. These settlers from Polynesia also brought coconuts and sugarcane.^[2] Most Pacific Islands had no meat animals except bats and lizards, so ancient Polynesians sailed the Pacific with pigs as cargo.^[3] The role of pigs in Polynesian society became valuable over time as a symbol of wealth, forming the basis of an inter-tribal currency of exchange.^[3] Pigs were raised for religious sacrifice, and the meat was offered at altars, some of which was consumed by priests and the rest eaten in a mass celebration of orgiastic feasting.^[3] Early Polynesians settled in Hawaiʻi circa A.D. 7th century, having traveled from Tahiti and Marquesas on double-hulled voyaging canoes Ancient Hawaiʻi refers to the period of Hawaiian history preceding the unification of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi by Kamehameha the Great in 1810. ...

Men cooking pork in imu

Large pieces of meat, such as fowl and pigs, would be typically cooked in earth ovens, or spitted over a fire during ceremonial feasts.^[3] Hawaiian earth ovens, known as an imu, combine roasting and steaming in a method called kālua. A pit is dug into earth and lined with volcanic rocks and other rocks that do not split when heated to a high temperature, such as granite.^[4] A fire is built with embers, and when the rocks are glowing hot, the embers are removed and the foods wrapped in ti, ginger or banana leaves are put into the pit, covered with wet leaves, mats and a layer of earth. Water may be added through a bamboo tube to create steam. The intense heat from the hot rocks cooked food thoroughly — the quantity of food for several days could be cooked at once, taken out and eaten as needed, and the cover replaced to keep the remainder warm.^[5] Sweet potatoes, taro, breadfruit and other vegetables were cooked in the imu, as well as fish. Chickens, pigs and dogs were put into the imu with hot rocks inserted in the abdominal cavities.^[5] Men did most of the work, and food for women was cooked in a separate imu, afterwards men and women ate meals separately.^[a] Sea salt was a common condiment.^[5] Inamona, a relish made of roasted, mashed kukui nutmeats, sea salt and sometimes mixed with seaweeds, often accompanied the meals.^[5] Image File history File linksMetadata Download high-resolution version (2304x2304, 3967 KB) File links The following pages on the English Wikipedia link to this file (pages on other projects are not listed): Kalua Metadata This file contains additional information, probably added from the digital camera or scanner used to create...

Demographics of Hawaii in 1959, showing that Japanese immigrants were the largest ethnic group at that time

Pineapple was brought to Hawaii from South America by the Spaniards in the early 19th century.^[7] By the late 19th century, pineapple and sugarcane plantations owned and run by American settlers took over much of Hawaii's land, and these two crops became the most important sources of revenues for the Hawaiian economy.^[8] As the plantations expanded the demand for labor grew, the plantation owners hired immigrant workers, which included Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Filipino, and Portuguese. Each ethnic group wanted its own food in workplaces, and farms and grocery markets were established. The Chinese replaced poi with rice and added their own herbs and spices.^[8] The Japanese brought their vegetables and noodles, and packed their bentos to take to fields. Although many of their vegetable seeds would not grow in the climate of Hawaii, the Japanese succeeded in making tofu and soy sauce.^[1] The Koreans brought kimchi and built barbecue pits to cook marinated meats. The Portuguese introduced their foods with an emphasis on pork, tomatoes and chili peppers, and built forno, their traditional beehive oven, to make Pão Doce, the Portuguese sweet bread.^[1] Whalers brought in salted fish, which ultimately became lomi-lomi salmon.^[4] Sugarcane was introduced to Hawai`i by its first inhabitants in approximately 600 AD and was observed by Captain Cook upon arrival to the islands in 1778. ...

Dole Pineapple Plantation in Oahu, Hawaii

The massive pineapple industry of Hawaii was born when the "Pineapple King", James Dole, planted pineapple trees on the island of Oahu in 1901.^[1] In 1922, Dole purchased the island of Lanai for a large-scale pineapple production. By 1950, his Hawaiian Pineapple Company was the largest pineapple company in the world.^[1] But since the 1970s, pineapples were grown more cheaply in Southeast Asia, so the Hawaiian agriculture has taken a diverse approach, producing a variety of crops including squash, tomatoes, chili peppers and lettuce.^[1] Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 800 × 600 pixel Image in higher resolution (1600 × 1200 pixel, file size: 960 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) I took this picture on May 13, 2006 on my vacation to Hawaii. ...

The first restaurant in Honolulu was opened in 1849 by a Portuguese man named Peter Fernandez. Situated behind the Bishop & Co. bank, the establishment was known as the "eating house" and was followed by other restaurants, such as Leon Dejean's "Parisian Restaurant" at the corner of Hotel and Fort Streets.^[9] In 1872, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel opened on Hotel Street, and as one of the most refined hotels in the Pacific, it catered to wealthy clients. The Royal Hawaiian dining room served dishes on par with the best restaurants in Europe, with an 1874 menu offering dishes such as mullet, spring lamb, chicken with tomatoes, and Cabinet Pudding.^[10] Honolulu as seen from the International Space Station Honolulu is the largest city and the capital of the U.S. state of Hawai‘i. ...

In 1992, a group of well-known Hawaiian chefs, including Sam Choy, George Mavrothalassitis, Alan Wong, Roy Yamaguchi and several others, came together to sponsor a cookbook to be sold for charity.^[2] The goal of this new group of chefs was to be a link with the local agricultural community and for Hawaiian regional cuisine to be a reflection of the community. For this, they took an uninspired international hotel cuisine based on imported products and replaced it with a cuisine based on locally grown foods.^[2] Sam Choy is a chef, restaranteur, and television personality known as the cofounder (along with Alan Wong) of Hawaii Regional Cuisine. ...

Fish and seafood

Ahi poke, raw tuna with chopped kukui nuts, green onions and seaweed on a bed of red cabbage

Tuna is the most important fish in Hawaiian cuisine.^[12] Varieties include the skipjack tuna (aku), the yellowfin tuna (ahi), and the albacore tuna (tombo). Ahi in particular has a long history, since ancient Hawaiians used it on long ocean voyages because it is well preserved when salted and dried.^[13] A large portion of the local tuna fishery goes to Japan to be sold for sashimi.^[12] Tuna is eaten as sashimi in Hawaii as well, but is also grilled or sautéed, or made into poke, a traditional local cuisine that originally involved preserving raw fish with sea salt and rubbing (lomi) it with seasonings or cutting it into small pieces. Seasonings made of seaweed, kukui nut, and sea salt were traditionally used for the Hawaiian poke. Since first contact with Western and Asian cultures, green onions, chili peppers, and soy sauce have become common additions to it.^[14] Poke is different from sashimi, since the former is usually rough-cut and piled onto a plate, and can be made with less expensive pieces of fish.^[15] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
