Never tried poi, but Hawaiians love Spam, I despise Spam, when the cafeteria in my military schoo would advertise it as breakfast sausage.

The top 5

#1 The Luther burger(basically a bacon cheeseburger on a glazed donut)

#2 Poi

#3 Spaghetti pie

#4 frogeye salad

#5 chocolate covered bacon

Others include pizza strips, chicken ala king, and fortune cookies.

I love the three above, I know I'm weird but I do eat the fortune cookie.

Eggplant. In any form.

What a nonsense list. No real American eats these foods - these are made up foods only found as curiosities at fairs etc. Not in real American homes.

Poi- add milk/cream and sugar to it and it’ll taste like dessert.

[SamAdams76]

On one of my Hawaiian trips, I ventured to try some poi at one of those luaus but quickly went back to the meat of the pig-in-ground!

[metmom]

It all depends on what you prefer.

Some of their list are nonsense.

Chocolate covered bacon or potato chips though? I could see that.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

How could Shoo Fly Pie escape the list?

[Oorang]

Eskimo ice cream. Mix together Crisco shortening, sugar, and frozen fruit. My husband’s brother was married to an Yupik eskimo. She made that gawd awful concoction and brought it to a family get together.

I like chocolate covered bacon. When I was working overseas, a tin of it occasionally appeared in a care package. Chocolate and bacon - the best of both worlds.

[Fledermaus]

Poi is awful.

Tastes like dirt.

[Songcraft]

This may go a little beyond the "American" part of this thread, but I bet brussels sprouts mixed with falafel balls would be mighty tasty.   (The only problem is there would be repercussions to eating that mixture.)

#2 Poi

No mention of its taste.

It stimulates weight loss, lowers cholesterol, is a great source of vitamin B and calcium, and it has low fat and protein content.... When poi was served at the table, the consumers were forbidden from arguing, as a symbol of respect to its sacredness.

Shrinkflation means quality of A LOT of foods is going south FAST.

Grits!

[LibertarianLiz]

I know I'm weird but I do eat the fortune cookie.

So do I. Have done so since I was a kid. Break in half, read the fortune, laugh at the fortune, eat the cookie.

[Vaduz]

Sounds like some of that stuff would put my taste buds in a coma.

[null and void]

I must be nekulturnyy, I like more than half of those treats.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Cottage cheese or anything with cottage cheese in it.

[Blueway]

We lived in Hawaii when our youngest was born. He was a big healthy baby, but was colicky and hardly slept at all for the first 8 months.
Thinking that he must be allergic to his formula, we tried all sorts of milk, etc. including poi.
Poi is supposed to be very nutritious and hypoallergenic, so we even tried to sweeten it, but it was a definite NO as far as our little kamaaina was concerned.

[Sirius Lee]

Poi is a traditional Hawaiian food, a nutritious, starchy dish made from the taro plant, prepared by smashing the cooked corm (underground plant stem) and adding water to it until it becomes a thick, sticky paste that is purple in color. It stimulates weight loss

Sure. Sure it does.
