While it makes me happy to see a Hawaiian food/saiman piece, I can't figure out what you were thinking with that parenthetical Spam comment. The nonexistent link you make between Spam and long pig is unnecessary, un-funny, and offensive.
The group "Pacific Islanders" includes many people and cultures, the majority of whose oh-so-exotic "ancestral predilections" were for things like taro and fish, not human flesh (including native Hawaiians).
You guys don't know what you're talking about. The only reason I eat spam is because eating humans is illegal now. Plus people meat doesn't come in a handy, pop top can, it's a lot of work.
