    This was very interesting and enjoyable, guys. I know very little about Polynesian cuisine other than Hawaiin. Have had plenty of Tongan and Samoan acquaintances/coworkers over the years but all made their way to the mainland via Hawaii. Lau lau (taro wrapped fish or pork) is one of my all-time favorite Hawaiian dishes so I would have been all in on the lu pulu! 😀
    Surprised the potato salad was top choice for Thomas. 👍

    • @ChasingaPlate
      @ChasingaPlate  3 года назад +2

      So glad you enjoyed it Tosh! That lu pulu was wonderful. We would love to get to Hawaii one day to film. The market plate we ate in this video and the bbq plates that are offered at other Pacific Island eateries here remind me of the photos I’ve seen of bbq plates in Hawaii. It was neat filming this one- gave us more of an insight into areas of our city that we spend less time in. Can’t wait to keep exploring! Thanks for watching and commenting Tosh. Cheers, Sheena

    • @tosht2515
      @tosht2515 3 года назад +2

      Yes. The market plate is very reminiscent of a Hawaiian “Plate Lunch” (protein, rice and mac salad); a southern U.S. BBQ “meat combo,” and the less known “meat and three” which is super popular in Tennessee - protein plus three sides. They thought long and hard coming up with that name, eh? 😀

      How do I know it's working on me??
      And do you feel an overwhelming sense of ownership from behind your keyboard?? of course you don't lol and with your flawed logic, lack of intelligence and education, it's clear you're too spineless to feel anything but fear when standing next to a Polynesian lol.
      NZ 'is' the largest Polynesian Island before it was colonized, it is still the largest Polynesian Island today Lol and the best thing about facts... is that they 'are' undeniable lol
      So now you have my permission to excuse yourself as you're simply not an authority on the subject. Especially being from a nation of college dropouts like Australia Lol oi oi oi
