I know you have not received an answer yet but the budget has money for BHAID which is good news. Hopefully the three organizations will receive support.

It's musubi.


Consulting the wiki oracle for additional information:
QuoteSpam musubi is a form of musubi that originally came from Hawaii, a popular item in the lunchboxes of Hawaiian plantation workers. The origin of Spam musubi is disputed. Survivors of the Japanese American internment camps on the mainland of the United States claim to have invented the precursor to Spam musubi, when they placed seasoned slices of Spam on white rice in a baking pan. However, most origin stories focus on Spam's ubiquity in Hawaii during and in the aftermath of World War II. With few other options, the canned meat was incorporated into local cuisines wherever American troops were stationed. For example, South Korea's budae-jjigae, a stew of surplus U.S. military foods, included Spam. In the United Kingdom, where Spam was ubiquitous during the hardship of the postwar years, Spam acquired a stigma exemplified by the 1970 Monty Python sketch. Spam may not have been abandoned in the Pacific like it was in the UK simply because of the comparative economic deprivation experienced in the Pacific region.

The Honolulu Star-Bulletin said of Spam musubi in 2002, "There is no definitive history for this aberration." Still, the newspaper relayed that a 2001 cookbook stated that the potential creator is Mitsuko Kaneshiro, who began selling them out of City Pharmacy on Pensacola Street in Honolulu and by the early 1980s was selling 500 handmade Spam musubi servings a day out of her own shop, Michan's Musubi. The other person said to be the creator of Spam musubi is Barbara Funamura of Kauai, who sold it out of the Joni-Hana Restaurant in the Kukui Grove Center. The Garden Island in 1983 described it as, "Spam and rice, two local favorites, are combined in an enormous musubi (rice ball) wrapped in nori (sheets of dried seaweed)."

The fact that it is cheap, easy to prepare, and delicious combines three important aspects of Talaviac'hi cuisine. That it can be found in gas stations is also a notable aspect of the foodstuff. Any Talaviac'hi worth their salt knows that gas stations are havens of delicious gastrointestinal destruction. But do check the prepared date just to be safe.

An easy spam musubi recipe will be included in the next edition of the Talossan Book of Cuisine.


I think we should include a paragraph-length description of musubi in addition to the recipe. It could be something similar to this Wikipedia article.

So I actually made changes to my roster and am keeping the tab open constantly to monitor points. This is getting serious.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 02:53:24 PMMe see good thing go bash with rock.

I translated this for fun, and I think it's "Me vidar cosa buna. Ir verberar cun peira."

Could there be a "dialect", a kind of simplified Talossan, with simplified conjugation for instance?

Me via cosa buna. Te verbera cun peira.

Not anymore, at least.

QuoteBut on the other hand, bad Talossan is better than no Talossan. No-one is going to yell at you for just giving up on conjugations and talking like a Talossan caveman. Me see good thing go bash with rock.

I might (well not yell, but I would be unhappy for sure)
