Aloha Betrayed
“Fletcher, how do you like Maui?”
“Leave her alone, Abbott. For heaven’s sake. She just got here.”
“I know that, Honi, but it doesn’t take that long to form an opinion.”
“From the little I’ve seen, Professor Luzon, it’s beautiful,” I said while attempting to spoon a Molokai sweet potato onto my plate. The line of diners at the luau curled across the grass, but it moved quickly. Two long buffet tables with both sides offering the same dishes split the line into four columns. I stepped... forward to a large stainless chafing dish that held slices of the roast pig that had been disinterred to great fanfare moments earlier. It had been cooked in an underground oven, covered with soil, simulating the methods used by early Polynesians who populated the Hawaiian Islands.
“You must try the salad. The greens are grown right here on Maui, in Kula,” Honi said.
Professor Luzon’s wife had been advising me all along the buffet line, and my plate now held more food than I could possibly eat.MoreLess
