Taro


Taro is a plant. It was the staple of the Hawaiian diet for centuries. There are songs about it and the farmers who grew it expressed their great love for their taro plants and the joy they received from farming them. Unlike the hated sugar cane plants. Pinapple wasn't a favorite either, it was hard work and difficult on the hands and back. Many Hawaiian families still use taro for special occasion dinners. But I think that it tastes terrible.
