Family Ingredients

Fiddleheads, they're a little curly Q and it just seems like they're only about this big. And do you forage them, they're wild? Yes and it was something that we could harvest ourselves and we'd bring 'em home and grandma would cook 'em up. I'll never forget it, they were wonderful. (birds chirping) (calm music) -

We left the Kanashiro's and we went to the Ueunten's farm. Gary and Glenna are farmers, they have a traditional style farm. But as you venture below the farm down this gulch, it's very moist, almost a swampy environment, and it's the first time that I had seen warabi or pahole as far as the eye could see. They're at least eight feet tall and Gary pointed out to me as we're walking through, he'd go, "Look." Kinda straight. Yeah, it's beautiful. But how'd you even see those?

Makes me think about how many times I have walked by this plant. He said, "Well, you want to start picking some?" And I said, "Do we need a knife?" And he's all, "Nah, just crack 'em!" So we just cracked it off. -

Nice one in there. Oh, yeah! Whoa! (laughing) Before you knew it we had a bunch that was this fat and we were ready to cook. I was excited too learn how to make Hawaiian-style weiwagaogon. (gentle music)
