New to me! That was beautiful ;)

Thanks for this post! I grew up eating pomelos but didn't know until recently that they were called pomelos. In vietnamese the same word is used for both grapefruit and pomelo! I too had a grocery store confrontation which resulted in a mother (with her child) buying a pomelo for the first time. I left feeling happy and hopeful that they learned about a new fruit that they would enjoy together for years to come - maybe even generations to come!

weeeee! I'm heading to Honolulu tomorrow so your post could not have been more timely! :) I'm a fan of fried spam with rice and a fried egg on top! My friends and I have been known to get together for spam nights! Thanks for the post and for getting me ready for my vacation!

I'm also a native San Diegan and love that you put together this list! I've been to El Zarape but I haven't tried their fish tacos yet. If you go, add some lobster dishes to your group's selection -- they're awesome!

This is awesome! I want to eat them =)

I was taught this trick by my Exec Chef years ago. People are still amazed when I show them how easy it is.

Thank you SO much for this article! Having never had one, I enjoyed your story helping me define this jumbo mysterious citrus fruit. Shortly after reading this, I saw a pomelo in Whole Foods. The peeling of the fruit can be a bit laborious, but is worth every bit! The way the juice was misting from the fruit's pith as I peeled it, the scent with which it filled the apt. (even unpeeled, it's pretty yummy scented!) & the light citrusy flavor was amazing! I bought another 1 the next time I went to Whole Foods. For now on when I see this delicious fruit, there will always be 1 in my bag to take hm.!!! Thx SO much!

Oh, we get it all right. Beyond *offal* mystery meat likely to be literally swept off the factory floor, (is there anyone who hasn't yet seen that USDA video on slaughterhouses?) forced upon trusting islanders by the military industrial complex that took over their islands. Just because some company hired chemists to create an addicting concoction of flavors to mask highly questionable 'food' doesn't make it something you want to put in your body. That's what we 'get'.

After eating a few cans worth of Spam musubi (they're too easy to make!) it did start to wear me down, but the first few were AWESOME!!!

Man I wanna go to Hawaii so badly.
