In this short article we want to talk about Spam as it pertains to a popular food in Hawaii.
The Internet has added new words to our vocabulary and change the meaning of others.
For example when you think of spam today as an Internet marketer you would be sending unwanted email to people who did not give you permission to do so.
You are on my Aloha-Blog and the word blog is fairly new in vocabulary. It used to be known as a weblog which was a form of an online diary.
Did you know that the people in Hawaii over 6 million cans spam a year?
The Spam Song was nominated for a 2009 Grammy!
President Obama was seen eating spam and sushi while playing golf on vacation over Christmas.
McDonald’s and Burger King even serve Spam with eggs.
Spam is not as popular in the other 48 states as it is in Hawaii. In my case I cannot even remember eating Spam ever. However in Hawaii Spam is also referred to as steak and is held in high esteem!
Like anything else it comes down to how it’s prepared. Chances are if you vacation here in Hawaii you will probably eat Spam a least one time!

Have you ever had a cup of Hawaiin coffee?
When we were in Kauai we started everyday with a pot of Kona Coffee that was best coffee I have ever had.
Here is an interesting fact…
Hawaii is the only state that grows coffee.
They even have the Hawaii Coffee Association that promotes Hawaii coffee within the state as well as to increase exports.
So what makes Hawaii coffee so good?
Similar to really good wines, Kona Coffee processing methods are crucial to obtaining the superb end product. Most small growers simply sell the coffee cherry they harvest to a processor, and that’s the end of their involvement.
Only Estate Coffees carry the personal stamp of care and knowledge on their product.
You can watch coffee being made in Hawaii too! Most of the harvesting is done from Sept. thru Dec. and you can tour coffee plantations if you like.
Buy only 100% Kona Coffee and not coffee blends with 10% Kona. You will be glad you did. http://www.konaearth.com/
