Just uploading them here made me want to go out and get some.<BR/><BR/>Tangled Noodle: I'm not exactly sure how poke differs from ceviche, but whenever I make ceviche (which isn't all that often) I marinate the seafood I'm using in lemon juice, which makes it sourer than any poke I've ever had, and use a lot of raw onion. Traditional poke is really just raw fish mixed with sea salt (which some ceviche dishes also call for), kikui nuts, and seaweed, though the ingredients that tend to be used successfully nowadays have greatly expanded -- for example, in the salt-cured beef poke that you mentioned, and also in the tofu poke. I liked your comment about poke being a good example of how migration, colonization, and social events impact the evolution of certain dishes. This seems to be true with lots of foods on the Islands. I'm going to see if I can find any kinilaw the next time I'm out and near a Filipino market!Sapuchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174078725199024297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1306333472392467864.post-8354398664453030732009-01-29T06:56:00.000-08:002009-01-29T06:56:00.000-08:00I've never seen such an array of poke!

The oka poke reminds me of 'kinilaw', a Filipino version of ceviche. The 2nd to last picture is of beef - I'd assumed that poke was always made with seafood. The evolution of dishes due to migration, colonization and other social events is such a rich topic and this is an excellent example.Tangled Noodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17543997083087131116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1306333472392467864.post-9061912279540011052009-01-29T06:22:00.000-08:002009-01-29T06:22:00.000-08:00Very educational and great pictures!
