Hawai'ians eat more Hormel SPAM per capital than any other state. In Hawaii, Spam is so popular it is sometimes dubbed "The Hawaiian Steak." It is traditionally reheated (cooked), resulting in a different taste than Spam eaten by many Americans on the mainland, who may eat Spam cold. One popular Spam dish in Hawaii is Spam musubi, in which cooked Spam is combined with rice and nori seaweed and classified as onigiri. (wikipedia)
The goofy-looking spam musubi provide a rating system for the wonderful Honolulu Food Blog The Tasty Island. (Bored by this site's content? Check that rad Hawai'i food blog out!)
Trivia: In the Hawai'i-set film "50 first dates", what does Sean Astin present a box of to Adam Sandler before Sandler sets sail? (hint: it's two things...)
