Party Time - Luau!!

A luau (in Hawaiian, lū‘au) is a traditional Hawaiian party or feast that is usually accompanied by entertainment. It may feature food such as poi, kalua pig, poke, lomi salmon, opihi, haupia, and beer; and entertainment, such as Hawaiian music and hula. Among people from Hawaii, the concepts of "luau" and "party" are often blended, resulting in graduation luaus, wedding luaus, and birthday luaus. (via wikipedia.org)   Our second night in Kauai was quite special. Why? Because we got to experience some amazing local feast and the famous Hawaiian shows right next to the beach! The reason we went to Hawaii was to attend a wedding of a sister-in-law along with another 118 guests who all flew from U.S. Mainland. Tonight's special feast was hosted by a groom's parents. It was another great night to remember while on this beautiful island of Kauai.  

What you see here is Kalua - the Hawaiian cooking method. Roasted puan cooking method that utilizes an imu, a type of underground oven. The word kālua, which literally means "to cook in an underground oven", may also be used to describe the food cooked in this manner, such as kālua pig or kālua turkey, which are commonly served at luau feasts. The first known use of the kalua method was in the early 1900s by two girls, Princess Danielle Kealoha and Stephanie Ikaika. (via wikipedia.org)

Poor pig was the highlight of this whole feast - May you rest in peace.
