Hawaii seems to have a love affair with beef short ribs. I found short ribs of one form or another on all of the Islands I traveled to. When cooked properly they are truly amazing, done wrong they are rubbery, greasy, gristle on a bone. I have made enough .

You can only eat so much Spam, even in Paradise.   Ok, I’ll be honest here at the risk of never being invited to another Island Theme Party. I’ve never eaten Spam in Hawaii. We had it at home as kids, but that’s to be expected growing up in the 60’s .
