Hawaiian Poke Bowl Bar
SpiceBreezeThe Hawaiian word "poke" (pronounced Poh-keh) means "to slice." Originally, poke was a quick snack made from fresh fish fillet bites mixed with salt, seaweed, and crushed nuts. The influence of immigrants introduced a wide variety of poke bowls, with Japanese-style bowls becoming the most popular worldwide. There are also many non-fish versions available. Which is your favorite at the Poke Bowl Bar?

My daughter gave me a subscription as a Christmas present while our families were quarantining together. It was so much fun! It introduced us to several cuisines that were totally new to us. The recipes were easy to follow and the spices were transformative - fresh and pungent and delicious.
