Men Try Strange Hawaiian Food for the First Time

Today we go to the ultimate Summer dream destination; HAWAII! We received an absolutely wonderful package from Kari, and she hooked us up with loads of weird and unique foods of Hawaii. Some of them delicious and delectable, others sour and disgusting. We loved taste testing this wide variety of unique foods! Please let us know if we missed anything, and what you'd like to see us try NEXT!

The mochi is pronounced mo-chee with the “cha” sound:) great video!

[jennysmith]

About the macadamias, they are a native plant of Australia, they were introduced to Hawaii in 1882 as windbreaks for sugarcane

Cam is wearing that lei like a choker lol

Yes, I always tell my mainland friends to NEVER call me “Hawaiian”...it’s very disrespectful to the Native Hawaiians who were overthrown by white Americans.

We don’t have wolves, coyotes, snakes, skunks, and rabies.

Poi is ground up taro root and it’s the main Hawaiian starch staple so it’s often eaten with really salty foods.

Butter mochi...it’s pronounce “mo” and “chee”, and is made from rice flour and is a local Japanese dessert. Plain mochi is very sticky but since there’s a lot of butter added, it loses that stickiness.

Cuttlefish is basically jerky. Cuttlefish isn’t the same as squid.

Hurricane popcorn mix is often added to popcorn in movies. The rice crackers are just rice crackers coated in a soy sauce/sugar mix.

“Musubi” is pronounce the way you do...except the inflection is in the 3rd syllable, not the 2nd syllable. It’s musuBI.

Haupia is basically a coconut jello. Hehe.

Macadamia nuts have the highest fat content of any nut in the world.

Li hing mui is delicious...and the powder lightly sprinkled on a snow come (we call them shaved ice here) or on apples, pineapples, and mangoes.

PS - the hand sign 🤙🏽 is a SHAKA. It’s used to say hi, bye, thanks, you’re welcome, etc.

PPS - Mahalo is “thank you”, while mahalo nui loa is “thank you very much”. A’ole pilikia (ah-oh-leh pee-lee-kee-ah) is “you’re welcome” [it’s literally translated to “no problem”.

The pineapple guava jam sounds amazing. The coconut pudding cake, taro pancakes, and the guava cookies look amazing. I love dark chocolate raisinets. I hope you get to try different snacks and candy from around the US.

[tanyavandermerwe]

PLEASE do a South African one. But make sure you get some biltong/drywors in there!

[brendaadams]

I love raisins, covered in chocolate or plain and I'm 51. Lol one type of food you could try, but may be hard to obtain, is northern native. Like Nunavut, or some remote Icelandic area.

🍍🌴🌺ALOHA guys! Being a native Hawaiian middle aged female and teacher of our heritage I gotta say this was an awesome video! So honest, funny yet respectful. Thanks much!

[WickedSimmer]

I'm 32 and I LOVE raisins! I can eat a big box in a day!

[keithmcintire]

It’s ok Austin. I like raisins too and I’m not 80!!! 😂

[helenburlton]

These are my favourite type of videos.

[Amanda_in_wonderland]

Turning 30 next week and I’ve always loved raisins and chocolate covered raisins 🥰

[Wendybear]

Aloha! So funny watching you folks try our foods or grindz as we say. When you do plan to come to Hawaii, I suggest a live stream so we locals can suggest the best places to explore our aina (land).

[carissahoner]

Lol y'alls faces when you had the last item! I was dying! BTW not 80 and I like raisins...especially raisinets!

[deannaweaver]

Cam “it’s having an identity crisis” lol 😂 love the videos keep it up! I love when you try things that women do or products!

[yvesita]

32 and love raisins covered in chocolate so i guess i’m on the 80’s list lol

[longtimeninerfan]

Ha ha! Just before the guys tried cuttlefish, a commercial popped up on my screen: “Beef. It’s what’s for dinner.” 🤣

[familyiseverything]

Absolutely love raisin bran crunch with extra raisins

[christina]

I like raisins in things and occasionally just out of the box and I'm no where near 80. Happy day!🙂
