Sleeping Giant, Kauai
 

Cracker: Here you go, we gazed at it daily while staying at the Aloha Beach Resort where the Wailua River runs into the ocean.

You know Melissa doesn't look up from her drinks especially on that chicken-fested place ...

thanks. I really do believe Mels thought that was a bunch of bs talk of all the chickens and roosters until she found out for herself!

Poor thing will never truly recover, though she does put on a good face!

Da big city gal, what can we do ...

Sistah! Have a great time, I am so envious.

oooh, you guys! hahaha. I did know about the chix but I had no idea how bad the roosters were. (We don't have roosters crowing in metro Honolulu!)

Melissa,

lots of chicks at my cousin's in Kalihi Valley, but not the kind you eat....unless they lose :)

Aloha!

Ground up with spices and sauteed in a fragrant sauce, hawaiiantraveler?

;)

Mels: Rooster burger? Must be tough as leather, no amount of sauce can make it taste good, eeeuu

Melissa,

hahaha....so you've been to the Sunday afternoon fights. Everyone is smiling and eating but the losers.


Aloha!

BTW, did you know that the Hanalei Foodland sells Filipino food in its takeout deli...including pig blood? I almost bought a container for myself but I didn't want to gross out my haole friends.

Melissa.........please quit making up stuff. You're beginning to sound like billyboyq!

ic

she's not making it up it's called dinuguan dinuguan(sp), and actually doesn't taste too bad. Kind of like blood sausage without the casing.
:)

Aloha!

in case you wanted to make your own

Aloha!

After all, she did force me to eat chicken paws!

Pig's blood with tofu, cubed, boiled and seasoned with soy sauce and 5 spices, add a few drops of sesame oil when ready. It's called red and white soup in Shanghai, can be made with rooster's blood too, we don't waste anything.

Now can we add some blue for the USA?

This is a GREAT hike BTW. I ate lunch on his chin. The views are AMAZING.

But I am guessing you already know that...!

I think I ate something in France that was made with blood. Was it a stew that had blood as the base for the sauce? Hmmm

Mels, if I come all the way out to the big city of Honolulu from our cottage in hell, you ain't gonna take me anywhere that serves pig blood, ARE YOU?

BTW, I think Martin is in for a visit in August. I mentioned how fun it would be to stop by for a night on our way home from K and he said, "Why would we go for just one night? We ought to do two or more." I just nodded and smiled.

YES!!! Good boy, Marteen!!! OK no pig blood, but do you want to do dim sum and have chicken feet? Hawaiiantraveler will be game for it, I'm sure!

See, icee? I don't make this food stuff up! And I eat all of it! At the last GTG hawaiiantraveler grilled some thinly sliced tongue, which I can say was delicious. I guess you could say he gave me tongue????
:o

This post makes me want to become a vegetarian before I go to Kauai again. ;-)

Mel,
hahaha....I was a little ambivalent about cooking that tounge but after experiencing your love for it, I now have a whole new outlook, lol.

Aloha Pumehana!
