Just try talking about Hawai‘i’s cultural history without talking about food. No can. We love eating and talk story about local food. On Saturday Nov. 6, Hawaii’s Plantation Village in Waipahu will celebrate both taste and talk with Arnold Hiura, author of Kau Kau — Cuisine & Culture in the Hawaiian Islands.
The free reading/discussion/eating event, 10 a.m. to noon, will get under way with a quick historical overview of kau kau — our all-purpose pidgin word for food. The book’s timeline starts with Hawaiians then continues with whalers and sailors, plantation immigration, World War II and post-war Hawai‘i, the “Hawaiian Renaissance” movement and wraps up with the contemporary food scene.
