A few days later; in a restaurant in Hilo on the Big Island
Jun: What is this meat on the rice?
Lisa: It's spam. Hawaiians eat more spam than any other people in the world!
Jun: Well, it tastes weird. I liked Feather's hemp meat better.
Lisa: We eat eleven thousand cans of this stuff a day! Here, try some of my poi.
Jun: Gross. Kind of like congee but nasty.
Lisa: It's an acquired taste, yes. But it's a staple of the islands.
Jun: What are those people outside carrying signs about?
Lisa: I think they're Hawaiian independence activists. Let's look when we're done eating.
小君：這飯上面是什么肉？
莉莎：是豬肉罐頭的肉。夏威夷比世界上其它民族要吃掉更多罐頭豬肉。
小君：嗯，味道嘗起來怪怪的。我比較喜歡羽毛的大麻種子素豬肉。
莉莎：我們一天要吃掉一萬一千罐這種罐頭呢。來，嘗嘗我的芋泥。
小君：好惡心喔。有點像粥，不過很惡濫。
莉莎：是啦，這味道是需要去習(xí)慣。但是，這是島上的主食。
小君：外面那些拿牌子的人在干嘛？
莉莎：我想他們應(yīng)該是夏威夷獨(dú)立運(yùn)動份子。我們吃完飯后出去看看吧。
