Who projects a better image of the US: Melania or Jane?

Do you make it for the president?

no clue what you are referring too

Obviously.

yes.. obviously..

feel free to explain if you can...

[2dimes]

Poi

[NomadPatriot]

Poi

uh..
yeah.. ok. 2dimes..

you are not making any sense..

I guess you ae unable to even explain what you are saying

[2dimes]

Well, I suspect you are right and there is no way to explain even a simple thing like poi to you.

Have you ever heard of Taro?

[KoolBak]

I have a pic of us by taro fields from last may I could dig up....

[tzor]

Which do you like better, spam or poi?

While I haven't had it in a long while, I prefer spam.
(Note, Spam can be used as a substitute for my never patented recipe of butterflied tube steak and linguine, in garlic olive oil / butter.)

In general, spam really needs to be gently fried / sauteed in order to bring out the flavor and to get a little crisp to the edges.

[2dimes]

It's purported to be an ingredient in Jollibee spaghetti so you might be onto something.

I could possibly like it if I don't have to be around when it comes out of the can. I just can't shake off how nasty it is at room temperature.

I don't love pork products to begin with so there's that.

I doubt it would help. Someone told him banana pudding was poi and it stuck.

Que up the, "He's Samoan so he knows." argument.

[NomadPatriot]

Have you ever heard of Taro?

yes that is how you make Hawaiian Poi.. but it's pretty bland

what does any of this have to do with your comment about me making it for the president..?

[2dimes]

That was not a comment. Go look again.

[NomadPatriot]

That was not a comment. Go look again.

well this conversation is getting pointless..

maybe you shouldn't drink your blue hair dye..

[2dimes]

Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow. That's my point.

[riskllama]

maybe...

[Razorvich]

Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow. That's my point.

To bring all up to date

[2dimes]

That is the same as nearly every thread with nomad patriot in it. As if banana pudding has anything to do with poi.

Hey guys here's my buddy's keto vegetarian poi recipe...
Taro, water
Turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, 3 slices of toast, mayo.

His parents had a Chinese restaurant in a small town when he was a kid, poi was their most popular menu item.

[Dukasaur]

Not knowing anything about the term, I decided to go with wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poi_(food)

This article is about the Polynesian food. For other uses, see Poi (disambiguation).
Hawaiian poi made from taro should not be confused with:

Samoan poi, which is a creamy dessert created by mashing ripe bananas with coconut cream
Tahitian po'e, which is a sweet, pudding-like dessert made with bananas, papaya, or mangoes cooked with manioc and coconut cream

A bowl of poi showing a typical consistency
A traditional way of making poi: on a wooden pounding board (papa ku‘i ‘ai) with a carved basalt pestle (pōhaku ku‘i ‘ai)

Poi is primarily the traditional staple food in native cuisine of Hawaii, made from the underground plant stem (corm) of taro (known in Hawaiian as kalo).

So the Hawaiians make it with taro but their Samoan cousins use banana and their Tahitian cousins use a variety of fruits.

That is the same as nearly every thread with nomad patriot in it. As if banana pudding has anything to do with poi.

I don't see him being that far off the mark.

Looks to me like choosing the Hawaiian version as "traditional" and the others as variant is somewhat arbitrary. One could just as easily call the Samoan version "traditional" and the Hawaiian version a variant.

Overall, they don't seem to be that different. Take a bland, starchy plant, mash it into mush and (maybe, maybe not) cook it. One might say that mashed potatoes are European Poi.

[2dimes]

Nice try.

I might have let it go except.

teaspoon of vanilla extract, couple thin slices of lemon peel, cup of half & half cream, spoon or 2 of sugar

So...

his mommy just makes him hot pockets in a microwave..
so we cannot expect much from 2dimes as far as knowing how to cook ..

My mom died.

My mom died.

Very sorry.

[2dimes]

Thanks Red. It's been a while.

Did you know about the Banana variation of Poi? I read your question. You probably should have should have did what dukasaur did there.

sad your parent died..
but you brought up parents first..

boomerang's hurt when you forget you threw them....

[2dimes]

I did write about my buddy's parents who owned a Chinese restaurant when he was growing up. You win again! He once complained about having to slice up turkey back then.

Maybe Duk will come explain how he read a Wikipedia article about turkey, and chicken is also poultry, therefore I probably only eat hot pockets made by my mommy.

Did you try that poi recipe? It's one of my favorites I have only had it in restaurants.

I know I win..

your sad attempt to not look completely stupid in this situation is failing miserably...

you tried to be a sarcastic smartass... you got called out ..
accept it..
no one thinks you have some buddy who makes turkey & bacon vegetarian anything...
but keep on trying...

we can all tell you only eat in restaurants or have someone else cook food for you.. I would guess your recipe for how to make a hamburger is to yell 'hamburger!' from the back seat, then your parents can drive around to the window... but you get a free toy with it at least..
