Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. How is a traditional Kalua Pig made?

Answer: underground oven

An underground oven, or IMU, is the best way to do a kalua pig. It can also be done in a convection oven, but that is FAR from traditional.
2. Pork, beef, chicken, fish, or all of these together, wrapped in luau leaves, then ti leaves, and put into an imu to cook is called a:

Answer: Laulau

A standard for a luau, although quite a task, this is soooo ono! By the way - ono means good!
3. Taro, steamed, cleaned, then pounded to produce a thick, slightly purplish-gray substance is called:

Answer: Poi

Ancient Hawaiians ate poi daily - sort of how mainlanders eat a steak and potato dinner - Hawaiians ate this for their starch portion.
4. Tomatos, onions, salmon, all diced and thrown together with some hawaiian salt makes --------- salmon.

Answer: lomilomi

Lomi means to mix or turn something. Lomilomi salmon is a standard side dish for a luau. Ono ono ono!

Answer: poke

6. When you boil down luau leaves until they aren't recognizable as leaves any more, then add either squid, chicken, pork or beef, and coconut milk, you make this?

Answer: luau

Mushy, gross looking green stuff - but very delicious.
7. Cook coconut milk with some cornstarch and you get this dessert:

Answer: Haupia

Sort of like a coconut jello, milky looking and sweet, this is the favorite dessert at a luau.
8. A mashed potato-like side dish, made with yellow OR purple sweet potato and coconut milk is:

Answer: palau

Palau is a sweet dessert like dish - usually served in little cups since it is somewhat expensive to make.
9. Not really a TRADITIONAL hawaiian dish, although it's come to be expected at a luau, it includes mushrooms, chicken (shredded), and long rice noodles, this is called:

Answer: Chicken Long Rice

Sort of a soupy dish - very ono on a cold and rainy night.
10. A drink used mainly in ancient Hawaii (some people still drink this), it was a painreliever for toothaches, headaches, etc. Also an incredible intoxicant!

Answer: 'awa

The 'awa (sometimes called kava) root was pounded and the juices were made in to a muddy looking water. Instant numbness!

Answer: pork butts

12. Kind of gross, this sea creature is taken out of its shell, put into a large bowl with hundreds of its friends, flavored with Hawaiian salt and eaten RAW!:

Answer: opihi

I don't eat this - too gross after watching them move around. The opihi is a limpet.
13. Now - off the food subject, how many letters are there in the hawaiian alphabet?

Answer: 13

a, e, i, o, u, he, ke, la, mu, nu, pi, we, 'okina. There's even a song for it!
14. What are little dried shrimp called in Hawaiian?

Answer: 'opae

Actually a Japanese product, this 'opae' is used in a large variety of dishes.
15. When the imu is empty and the food is on the table, it's time to inu!! What is that?

Inu - favorite pastime for pau hana (finish work!) - the fun depends on what you want to inu!
