These days, I don't use alaea salt in cooking, not because it's salt
with dirt mixed it but because it seems disrespectful to Hawaiian
tradition. The next time I see a Hawaiian Kapuna/Kahuna, I'll ask him
his opinion on this.

My dad would smoke meats for our Christmas party. I never paid much
attention to how he did it. I wish I did now. I have grilled my dad
about it when he was in his nineties - he said it was just something he
picked up somewhere. He smoked chicken and chuck roasts in an old 55 gal
oil drum. That's a Chinese technique. The meat was seasoned in the old
Hawaiian style - just salt. The chicken and meat came out looking normal
but when you cut it up, they'd be a bright red under the surface. I had
never seen such a thing before.

Hawaiians are also very, very special. dsi1 can tell you about that.

You're the one saying that Hawaiians were very, very, special. I said
that the old Hawaiians were into making salt. They had to because that's
the only way they could get it - fool.
Most Hawaiians no longer make salt but some Hawaiians still uphold the
tradition. One of my clients will give me a tiny bag of salt when he
comes over from Molokai. I have to remember to show more appreciation
for all the hard work that's involved in making that salt.
