Kona, Hawaii - where to eat/what to bring back?

I recommend Rapanui. It's a tiny restaurant in a kind of strip mall and a bit hard to find, but I think it's worth it. The food is very fresh, generous, and reasonably priced. The menu utilizes a lot of Hawaiian ingredients and flavors.
http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/37/772884/restaurant/Hawaii/Rapanui-Island-Cafe-Kailua-Kona

Another great dive-y/tiki bar place is Kanaka Kava. They have Kava, which is a (rather foul tasting) herbal drink that has "relaxing" properties. It's a great way to absorb some of Hawaii's culture. If that's not your kind of thing, I would recommend their pupu platters. Delicious kalua pork with poi, taro, sweet potato curry, and poke. The owner is a very friendly, hippy woman ;)
http://www.kanakakava.com/

Have a great trip and let me know if you tried any of these places!

Darn, there was an Italian ice shop nearby Kanaka Kava, but I forgot what it was called. The owner's from Philly, and makes delicious Italian ice with fresh fruit. Definitely try it as gelati, with macadamia ice cream!

BUTTER OVERLOAD

I second Mr. Nick's suggestion. Clarifying it would also probably extend its shelf life, since you are removing the milk solids that would otherwise turn it rancid.

Pizza Madness: Pizza In a Jar

I saw this earlier this week, and was mildly surprised to see it reblogged here. I honestly don't understand the hype about this. It does not resemble pizza in any way, shape, or form, except for maybe the flavor combo. However, because there is so little exposure to hot air when it gets cooked in a jar, it's missing a lot of flavour from the caramelizing and char on the crust.

Food in jars is just hype. Yea, it's cute and all. But unless it's functional, putting any food into a jar doesn't make it better. You just get a dish that's a lesser version of the original form, hard to eat, and jars that are hard to clean.

Oh yea, and reading through all the comments here, it's funny to see the general negative reaction by SEaters. It's quite a stark contrast to the Bon Appetit Blog, where it is lauded as a cute, innovative way to make pizza. This just shows that we think more critically and don't give in to the hype of the day...

30 year old bottle of Ginseng Wine!! =O

Wait, so you are 36 years old or was the bottle already aged before it was opened? If not, that thing's been open for 30 years... I dunno, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't be good after three decades...

Settling for less...?

When I make sushi at home, I must buy the good stuff. I go to an over priced market in Potomac, MD that gets the fresh stuff shipped 6 days out of the week. I'll get farmed and wild salmon, tuna, and whatever else looks good. We can easily spend $50 on a couple pounds of raw fish, but for the amount of sashimi and sushi you can get out of it, it's totally more worth it than buying that much fish at a sushi restaurant.
