I think I could really like it if there were no other choices. It tasted like very bland, grainy, slightly sweet potatoes. Would not be my first choice over regular potatoes.
Hi Shelley - I think Taro is what the Hawaiians pound into mush to make Poi, their national dish. And that no other choice dilemma is always a worry when traveling.
Hi Darla - Had a Tornado Watch last night with my husband away on business, so I'm thinking a visit to California is due in the next month or so. Just look for a red Chevy with Oklahoma plates! But seriously, I will let you know when I'm in Berkeley next. Are you a fan of Tea in the City?
Hi Catherine - You know I think the fish in Oklahoma is really good - well, the Ginger Crusted Ahi John had at Mama's on Maui was on a whole other level. The Menu even had the name of the man who had caught it and where. Today's picture is from a meal at someplace called Jazz something and it was a locally grown burger. Fabulous! We should go out for some Barbecue, since it's better here than anywhere else. Any news on next year?
Hi Carolyn - It was so vivid on the plate - I'm glad my new camera could capture the color. They grow amazing things on Hawaii, you just need to find a place where they source from the locals. I would love to stay there for a month in a place with a kitchen and learn to cook some of it.
Thanks for the pictures of Hawaii. That Taro relative -- the blue food - is really strange looking. How does it taste? Looks like blueberry ice cream!

ReplyDeleteBeryl, I've never heard of taro, never mind any of its family members. I know what you mean about 'if no other choices'.

ReplyDeleteSigh. I really need to go someplace where I can get sand between my toes.
ReplyDeleteAnd you really need to come North and visit your daughter so you and I can meet for coffee.

ReplyDeleteThat is so, so beautiful, Beryl! Such clear, gorgeous water—and the food looks heavenly. I'm so glad you had a marvelous time.

ReplyDeleteI would love to try that purple mash! Look so interesting and colourful on the plate :)
