[AT] OT Redbud/asparagus

[charlie hill]

Trust me Phil,  DON'T bother trying poi unless you just want to see how bad 
it is.  Let the Hawaians sing all the songs they want to about it.  The 
stuff ain't fit to eat.  I said earlier that I will eat most anything and I 
will.  I was raised not to waste food and you can tell that by looking at my 
waist.  (pun intended)  I seldom leave anything much on my plate even if I 
don't like it but poi is another story.  I've been to Hawaii twice and tried 
it both times.  Last time I tried very hard to eat the stuff.  I just 
couldn't.   Forget about good food or bad food.  It just doesn't even taste 
like food.

I'm sure I've offended someone who likes the stuff and I'm sorry but I just 
don't know how anyone could eat it unless it was the last thing left before 
canabalism.
