We moved to Hawaii at the start of my sophmore year in high school. (Castle HS in Kaneohe) I grew up in rural Idaho eating potatoes, corn, green beans, elk, etc. We went out to eat at achinese restaurant and the variety of new flavors blew my mind. I thought an angel had come to earth and cooked us dinner. Sweet and sour was fabulous.
Love how your children are so willing to try new foods. Even if they did not enjoy the flavor, they didn''t make a huge fuss about it. Fantastic job kids! ❤
Aloha, I grew up on the Leeward side of Oahu & in San Diego. I raised all of my children on the mainland. I cook lots of Hawai'ian foods for my keiki. I even made easy cookbooks for them to have when they moved out so that they will have the recipes to pass on to my Mo'opunas. It was great watching you try these Hawai'ian treats with your dad. Lots of Aloha, Auntie Ka'imi
We get a lot of those preserved plums, sweet and sour ones in the Chinese whole food store, I used to go crazy for those as a child, and Spam oooo I have not had spam in years, it used to love that.
Macadamias were first grown commercially in Hawaii but it's a native of south-east Queensland in Australia, where I live and where the climate is similar. Also, the Chinese population of Papua New Guinea, just to Australia's north, had what we called 'salty plums', which were dried and heavily salted plums. I loved them! Also, those wet dried plums look like what we call 'prunes' in Australia. We can also buy bottled prune juice here. It's great for what ails ya! 😉.
That was such a fun video!!! When I was little my grandmother lived in an apartment and her Phillipino neighbor would bring her treats when he went home. Some were great and tasty but others were hard to get used to. It’s fun to try other cultures food. The faces were great!!! Tell your Dad to teach you Hawaiian!!
In the west of Ireland Nori is called Sleabhcán. It grows in thin strips on the rocks and harvested at low tide. It looks like the old cassette tape. We stew it fresh or dry it, and store in air tight containers. We use it as a condiment and add to fish dishes and to soups. Flakes are fantastic in carrot cakes.
You guys are the sweetest kids; each one of you an individual but lovely souls that inspire. You should be very proud as you as the oldest make decisions every day that encourage and inspire your younger siblings; kids who aren't showered with love and respect from their older siblings will never shine the way your "littles do. Super job, Sis!
How fun!!! Yum! Trying new treats is always an adventure! Thanks for sharing, I had a smile plastered across my face the whole time😁 so loved little bro’s “tart face”!!🤣 So funny!!!!
Nevaeh, very neat video. You have such great positive energy, of course both your parents as well, I believe thats why I started watching there videos, ever since they started. . . Getting close to 15.000 subs , remember when you so badly wanted 1,000. Thumbs up girl !!
I love Spam musubi. So neat to see you exposing your kids to foods normally not found easily! My wife is Japanese and her cousins in Hawaii turned us on to this delight years ago! Rice, teriyaki sauce, Spam, slicy cream sauce, rice wrapped in toasted seaweed is how we make it. A couple of years ago, Hibachi-san at the mall in Chandler, AZ started making it, but their Spam slice is a little thin..
Remember these times cause you grow up and what you have is memories of your past. Fun times with your family is ones you will always remember. Nice video stay safe 👍
Mmm, musubi...lived in Keaau on the Big Island for 6 yrs - musubi was a regular beach food. I liked it plain but teriyaki was hubby’s favorite!! I have that same maker...oh my word, now I’m hungry!
So much fun to watch the Kid's expressions and faces sharing Dad's Treasures!!! I miss all of the Plate Lunches, Lau Laus, and all the local Fruits. Have a small bag of Dried Poi for special occasions, Poi was my first food as a baby!!! Aloha...
I loved your video! I'm a little surprised at how willing everyone was to taste everything. Loved your brother's facial reactions to the sour one!! I enjoy being with all of you. Thank you for sharing with us!
I wish I had been there with you guys. I love SPAM and I love sushi. In fact, we ordered take out sushi for dinner after watching you video. Your dad looked so proud to share his childhood food favorites with you. Enjoy it, because it is part of your heritage.
Omg u guys took my mind of worrying off my granddaughter through the whole video.. n I was laughing n smiling.. round two of cancer on my 20 years old gbaby prayers needed in groups of two or more.. thanks nevaeh u n u family are heaven sent.. miss ur songs.. a challenge songs for guitar is the song Amazed.. my favorite song even though I’ve been single n happy most of my 60 yrs
I loved that. That was so cute. Especially the seaweed face. Lol. That was great. It was great that they all were adventurous enough to at least try everything . Thanks for this one.
Great Video. Love how your family loves each other and have great times. Keep the love and keep laughing and way to go on trying new things. You're mom and dad are also the best. Embrace this time together. It goes by fast. Love you're editing too. You are getting much better. Keep up to good work. 👍
Awesome, been since 1977 since I ate spam(I was stationed in Hawaii and been to the Big Island many times) and all those snacks. it is great that you have fans from all over the world that can send you some snacks. Kids might not like them, but they will remember this for their lifes.
This was such a great video with everyone together! Wish I could have seen your mom join in on the snacks as well. 🤣❤️ Those sour balls your brother ate are here at a lot of corner gas station stores. Those are my favorite!! Love the sweet and sour ones and the salty sour ones. Lol 🥰😍 I would really love to watch you guys cook home made foods a lot more often! It's so fun to see the family come together and make great foods together. ❤️❤️❤️
Spam used to be manufactured in the North West of England (just outside Liverpool) and was a staple on school menus, usually served in the forma of a Spam Fritter, battered and deep fired. Some Fish & Chip shops still sell Spam Fritters. And finally don't forget the Spam song, th-cam.com/video/mBcY3W5WgNU/w-d-xo.html.
i still love mango i had a second fridge out in my garage where i use to harvest my mango trees and throw the fruit in the freezer and eat them like ice cream. i still love all the juices. was on oahu hawaii and got to visit kahoolawe which was a bombing range and gunnery range when i was there. i actually drove my little datsun around the entire island of oahu including the rather rocky road going from yokohama beach to the north shore side. this was back in the late 60 s to 1973. i actually was on the uss enterprise for a tour in 73
We love Spam here, I just made hubby a Spamwich for lunch today...3 slices of Spam ( right out of the can ), mayo and mustard. we also like it fried to go with eggs for breakfast.
i was stationed in hawaii for 4 yrs of which i was there about half the time'luahs were great my neighbor who was a local cooked a pig about once a year. and i ate a lot of saimin and i had mango/kiwi/and passion fruit trees in my yard. i lived in waipahu ewa beach and waikiki and was a rugby player which is a great sport. i was in EOD in the navy so like i told my kids i was a diver i jumped out of airplanes and blew up stuff so it kept me busy.have fun at your new home you have a beautiful family. always find time for fun
I have never been to Hawaii myself but my mother and grandparents lived there for many years so I have tried a few of these. Spam is my favorite and yes we will be making these for certain. Great stuff to watch ya'll eating the food of your dads childhood.
Some of my favorite food in Hawaii is Huli Huli bbq chicken, Kalua pig. 😋….and the fried rice of course!! The okinawin donuts in Hawaii are delicious too 😋
This is making me homesick! My fave is still Redondo's portuguese sausage, scrambled eggs, and rice. Spam, eggs, and rice are great, too! I used to take musubi in my rucksack to the field so I wouldn't starve to death at PTA or the Ko'olaus.
How fun for you all and it made for a great video. Many of those snacks bring back memories of our year in Hawaii back in the 90’s. We have a fun book called Hawaiian Mother Goose Rhymes that I bet you might get a kick out of it 🌺💜hugs Souza Family, you’re awesome!
The look on Kaimani's face was priceless. My Son and I used to see who could eat the most sour things. It was usually a tie. But he would always beat me when it came to hot stuff. He used to eat hot wings all of the time. I like hot things but, they were way too hot for me. Happy Valentines.
one thing that was different when i was renting a house in waipahu was there was no heating or cooling. the windows were mostly solid glass with louvres under the windows to open or close to adjust the temperature. used to call me the crazy howley cause i acted more hawaiian than i did white. i kind of melted into my environment. had a great time and being a diver in the service i fit right in to the many water sports. but be careful playing rugby against the samoans was a very physical game but i loved it. a scrum is not a scrum until you play the samoans. its like a hidden fist fight lol
The plum ones is something that Grandma's would like Grandpa's too 😆🤣👵❤️👍 I just love watching you guys .. right now it's snowing in Texas San Antonio Texas to be exact we don't get much snow so a little bit.. who else is like wow to you guys.. how to make fun of us which is okay cuz we make fun of ourselves LOL.. for your place is probably going to shut down the road over here they shut down the highway can you believe that lol
I have tried to like Spam. But I just can't. I know some Hawaiians love it. But no. I love it when she says the seaweed tastes like the ocean. It does. I love rice though! Mom's night off? Dried coconut does taste a bit like soap but is still goooooood. I love you guys so much. Great fun. I watch ALL the videos. So glad there are more now.❣️P. S. Neveah sounds like Melissa. Lot of joy surrounds you guys. It is contagious.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I used to visit the local crack seed store after school every day! Did you ever stick a Li Hing Mui in the center of half a lemon and suck on it. Soo ono brah! Spam Misubi is my favorite too and all kine poki!
Nevaeh, I was combing your page for your music...specifically looking for a 'music playlist' that I could play while resting and I stumbled on this. Fabulous. I was thinking of sending the same for the same reason of your dad sharing his childhood snackies and stories. Short story: when I met my husband (who's from Calif) we went to a hotel with plans to have dinner with non-local friends. Our friends were to meet us at our hotel room so we left the door open. I wanted to introduce my then boyfriend of my childhood snackies...much like what you had here. So, we're sitting on the bed with all the goodies scattered...I'm telling him what they are....yada yada....cuttlefish and other stinkies....our friends find the room, and stop at the doorway....their faces told the story. You could read the bubble above their heads "WHAT IS THAT STINKY SMELL....". Funny moment. Good stuff, tho. Spam musubi rocks. Tell dad to make you folks a BLT musubi with mayo or even a poached chicken breast and namasu musubi...also with mayo.....mayo on everything... LOL.
I love hawaiian dessert made with pineapple Chunks , coconut , brown sugar, butter and a cobbler batter.and top. With whip cream when done.I to have family in hawaii.
I grew up in the northern territory in Australia 🦘 and the sweet and sour salty plums we grew up on as the tropical heat it helped replace salt in the body so I grew up on them love from nanny Star blue mountains Australia 🦘
I'm Native American so yeah, I LOVE SPAM! I especially love spam when it's diced up and cooked with scrambled eggs and homemade tortillas! OMR! That's the best! We make spam, eggs and potato burritos and they are a huge hit in Indian Country (Native American)! I went to college with a couple of gals from Hawaii who also loved spam. They would stock up on spam and ship them home as spam was cheaper in the non-Hawaii states.
Thanks for sharing with us, great taste testing video for sure. Enjoyed watching the family participation and the different expressions and the unexpected experiences. Keep up the good work and videos. Fred.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻
lol even i dont eat everything my parents did... mountain oysters, spam stew, lambsfry... on a sandwich, black pudding but i luv teroi, island minus, rawfish (trout in coconut milk, onion, tomato, salt)
Great memories as I too have had experienced Hawaiian assorted food living in Waimanalo, Oahu as a child when dad was stationed in the millitary. If i recall the misubi also had "ume" ( picked plum), daikon (pickled radish), along with fried spam. I recall my friends inviting me to a "pot luck" & feasting on chicken long rice, Lau Lau, lomi salmon, pipikaula ( beef jerkey), smoked marlin sword fish marinated in teriyaki sauce, poki in assortment ( my favorite were "ahi" & "tako") .....and among other recipes at the moment I am trying to remember as I reflect 🤔. Whew thank you for reminiscing my memories!!!! Great video 😃👍!!
Aloha ohana!!! We just got our care package from home(Oahu) and oohhhh boy it will not last and every single thing you showed we have too!!! Spam musubi's is a must every week in our household. You have to eat the cuddle fish with popcorn with your normal fixings....so delish!!!! My favorite way to eat it!!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Awesome nostalgic taste test, we had Fish and Grits, Conch Chowder, Deviled Crab and Key Lime Pie in the Florida Keys when I was a kid. Lol with the kids faces on the taste test. Seaweed is definitely fishy. My dad actually pulled seaweed out of the ocean, cooked it and made us eat it, too!
We used to have spam fritters in my boarding school days in the UK, which is essentially, spam dipped in batter and fried. We also had a spam loaf, which is the spam grated, then mixed with egg and whatever spices or herbs you fancy and then baked in a small baking form. All cheap and cheerful food, but we loved it, I still make the loaf now and again these days. I never knew that they ate spam also in Hawaii, I like the way you guys made it, I will have to give that a go, albeit, I need some convincing with the seaweed aspect :-)
I live in hawaii, it cracks me up every time I see the reactions on mainland people eating local kine food. Come to hawaii and remember, no touching the honu (Turtles). Aloha from hawaii, Talofa from samoa, and malo e leilei from tonga!
The faces were great had to laugh. There's a couple things that i don't think I would have tried. Nice video. I'm a firm believer of trying different food from everywhere.
Aloha, Braddah! Today is the first time I saw your channel with the toy drive for the pediatric cancer patients. I cried and cried and fell in love with your Ohana!! I instantly knew daddy was not only from Hawaii, but probably from the Big Island. You still got the aloha! We live on the Hamakua Coast in O’okala. We send aloha to you and yours. Nice job on your channel, subscribing to both! Me ke aloha pumehana.
I tried Finnish Christmas casseroles last year for first time and is good to do ancestry food. Tried Lithuania Baltic recipes too , super refined imo. . . along with Hungarian dishes. Its hard to explain to kids but usually taste better if get connection between little work to get the food, more leisure time. Also food used to celebrate the friendship of particular region "microclimate" its life and personality, joy in its beauty colors scents listening to land water air needs. Think for Idaho may help to find other countries at similar latitudes and their recipes. Still good to let Hawaii visit Idaho as I feel lands like to go on vacation too, they just dont hop on boat or travel visibly. Fusion home decoration, or plants like in sunken greenhouse fun, neat to grow plumeria there imo. Love to see mom's food ancestry Canada? maybe help picky eater with traditional stories about land and food and water. Lots of rivers have fish from ocean like salmon and eels and love both river and ocean as part of their experiences, life.. .neat to celebrate ocean kelp and the fish they eat from it. Watch Octopus Teacher on Netflix, Set in South Africa Shows a cool moment of octopus "dancing" celebrating "art" "music" neatness of rare visit by a unique school of fish in her kelp forest. Sort of sacred as close to end of her life, imo gift to octopus work being good.
Chee Hoo Spam Musubi Specialist. Enjoyed keiki’s reaction to the island snacks. Lol, we introduced poi to my hapa haole niece and nephew that live in Washington. I’m always amazed to see how much they love it. 🌸☀️🌈
We moved to Hawaii at the start of my sophmore year in high school. (Castle HS in Kaneohe) I grew up in rural Idaho eating potatoes, corn, green beans, elk, etc. We went out to eat at achinese restaurant and the variety of new flavors blew my mind. I thought an angel had come to earth and cooked us dinner. Sweet and sour was fabulous.
I would have the same reaction to eating elk tbh...I don't think it's even available in Australia.
Love how your children are so willing to try new foods. Even if they did not enjoy the flavor, they didn''t make a huge fuss about it. Fantastic job kids! ❤
Check out that musubi action. Your dad still got it! "You can take the boy from the island, but not the island from the boy."
Cute kiddos! 3 outta 4 look like dad! 👍 The lil girl resembles the mom so much down to the faces she makes 🤣
Your oldest boy has your sense of humor papa.I love the way your kids interact with you.
Love the content and family! The laughter and joy for all to see!
Awesome video the expression on you alls face is priceless. You all need to try local kine plate lunch. Aloha from Kansas
Aloha, I grew up on the Leeward side of Oahu & in San Diego. I raised all of my children on the mainland. I cook lots of Hawai'ian foods for my keiki. I even made easy cookbooks for them to have when they moved out so that they will have the recipes to pass on to my Mo'opunas. It was great watching you try these Hawai'ian treats with your dad.
Lots of Aloha, Auntie Ka'imi
I loved the faces on the kids faces when they were tasting the different foods, they were priceless, you gave me a good laugh. Love you all.
I've had that dish when i was in the army in Hawaii. It's delicious. I've been eating fried spam since I was a little kid lol.
So much fun you guys are great!!! Happy Holidays 🎄🎄🎄
Your family always looks like you guys are having fun together.
The first food you ate reminds me of Okinawan food....yum yum!!!
Your brothers face on the sour one was priceless
Spam musubis are awesome. Try layering it: rice, spam, and rice. Helps with the saltiness 😊😊 you guys are the best!!
What did he pour on the spam while cooking?
We get a lot of those preserved plums, sweet and sour ones in the Chinese whole food store, I used to go crazy for those as a child, and Spam oooo I have not had spam in years, it used to love that.
Just found this video, brings back a lot of old memories and wishes of going back. Lived there for ten years 73 to 84, Mahalo for the memories
Macadamias were first grown commercially in Hawaii but it's a native of south-east Queensland in Australia, where I live and where the climate is similar. Also, the Chinese population of Papua New Guinea, just to Australia's north, had what we called 'salty plums', which were dried and heavily salted plums. I loved them! Also, those wet dried plums look like what we call 'prunes' in Australia. We can also buy bottled prune juice here. It's great for what ails ya! 😉.
Eli’s facial expressions are fun to watch! Kaimani’s reaction to sour is unforgettable! LOL!
Very good idea to try the food items from your father’s childhood. Great video as always.
Loved the bags of snacks. The facial moments were priceless. Love the love your viewers give. Stay safe and be warm. Happy Valentine's Day 💗
love me some and make it too, broke da mouth.
For me what it hard is to fine Skip Jack to make dried Aku
I love, love SPAM (especially the bacon flavored one)!
That was such a fun video!!! When I was little my grandmother lived in an apartment and her Phillipino neighbor would bring her treats when he went home. Some were great and tasty but others were hard to get used to. It’s fun to try other cultures food. The faces were great!!! Tell your Dad to teach you Hawaiian!!

My mouth started watering when u said lihing mui. All my favorites, I eat these almost every day
You guys are the sweetest kids; each one of you an individual but lovely souls that inspire.

Spam is quite nice sliced, grilled with a slice of pineapple on top.
We used to have fried spam with chips, sorry fries and baked beans and some times a fried egg as well when we were growing up
Spam Minnesota’s gift to Hawaii and the rest of the world during the Great Depression and still a table favorite
Hey, great to see you guys all ❤ together. Caught a glimpse of mama. Hope all is well. It's the mango for me. Take care guys 🥰

I’m from the South and we love fried spam and put them on loaf bread. Thanks for sharing. I would love to taste those snacks. They looked delicious.
I love Hawaii ❤️ It was my home for 6 years! I have wonderful memories and funny stories that will never forget.
Aloha and Mahalo 😍
I totally ❤️ that your dad made up such a yummy food, not a spam fan but that looks amazing. Will have to try it now, thanks 😊

Young man, you held it strong and did not spit it out as, I expected you to.
You made my day
What fun to watch!...God bless y’all abundantly and stay safe and healthy!
This was a fun video. Love watching the kids expressions as they were eating the snacks. ♥️🤗
They were awesome to willingly try everything without fussing or acting dramatic...such great sports☺️

We make spam, eggs and potato burritos and they are a huge hit in Indian Country (Native American)! I went to college with a couple of gals from Hawaii who also loved spam. They would stock up on spam and ship them home as spam was cheaper in the non-Hawaii states.
Thanks for sharing with us, great taste testing video for sure. Enjoyed watching the family participation and the different expressions and the unexpected experiences. Keep up the good work and videos. Fred.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻
What great and fun video of your Hawaiian food taste test. It brought to me much laughter. 🤣🤪😊
LOVE lihemoi powder on the rim of the glass for a Lehemoi margarita!!!😋🍸♥️
lol even i dont eat everything my parents did... mountain oysters, spam stew, lambsfry... on a sandwich, black pudding
but i luv teroi, island minus, rawfish (trout in coconut milk, onion, tomato, salt)
I laughed so hard at your little brother.
What a beautiful family. You are very blessed.
Great memories as I too have had experienced Hawaiian assorted food living in Waimanalo, Oahu as a child when dad was stationed in the millitary. If i recall the misubi also had "ume" ( picked plum), daikon (pickled radish), along with fried spam. I recall my friends inviting me to a "pot luck" & feasting on chicken long rice, Lau Lau, lomi salmon, pipikaula ( beef jerkey), smoked marlin sword fish marinated in teriyaki sauce, poki in assortment ( my favorite were "ahi" & "tako") .....and among other recipes at the moment I am trying to remember as I reflect 🤔. Whew thank you for reminiscing my memories!!!! Great video 😃👍!!
Aloha ohana!!! We just got our care package from home(Oahu) and oohhhh boy it will not last and every single thing you showed we have too!!! Spam musubi's is a must every week in our household. You have to eat the cuddle fish with popcorn with your normal fixings....so delish!!!! My favorite way to eat it!!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Fried egg, with bacon flavored spam and hot chow chow! My all time favorite road trip sandwich!!!
Thx for the smiles, I really needed them today
You little brother was like...I'll try and taste anything without any hesitation....brave lil man....💯💯💯
So glad you had the kids listen to one of the best sounds in cooking, Spam dropping out of the can! Oh Yeah!
Yum! All my favorites except for the chocolate covered cuttlefish. Cuttlefish plain is good.
Awesome nostalgic taste test, we had Fish and Grits, Conch Chowder, Deviled Crab and Key Lime Pie in the Florida Keys when I was a kid. Lol with the kids faces on the taste test. Seaweed is definitely fishy. My dad actually pulled seaweed out of the ocean, cooked it and made us eat it, too!
We used to have spam fritters in my boarding school days in the UK, which is essentially, spam dipped in batter and fried. We also had a spam loaf, which is the spam grated, then mixed with egg and whatever spices or herbs you fancy and then baked in a small baking form. All cheap and cheerful food, but we loved it, I still make the loaf now and again these days. I never knew that they ate spam also in Hawaii, I like the way you guys made it, I will have to give that a go, albeit, I need some convincing with the seaweed aspect :-)
I live in hawaii, it cracks me up every time I see the reactions on mainland people eating local kine food. Come to hawaii and remember, no touching the honu (Turtles). Aloha from hawaii, Talofa from samoa, and malo e leilei from tonga!
The faces were great had to laugh. There's a couple things that i don't think I would have tried. Nice video. I'm a firm believer of trying different food from everywhere.
Loved this! 😍 It was so hilarious seeing the kids funny faces! 🤣
Aloha, Braddah!
Today is the first time I saw your channel with the toy drive for the pediatric cancer patients. I cried and cried and fell in love with your Ohana!!
I instantly knew daddy was not only from Hawaii, but probably from the Big Island. You still got the aloha!
We live on the Hamakua Coast in O’okala. We send aloha to you and yours.
Nice job on your channel, subscribing to both!
Me ke aloha pumehana.
Lol the reactions of the kids made my evening thanks for sharing lol
Glad to see you posting again great job.
I tried Finnish Christmas casseroles last year for first time and is good to do ancestry food. Tried Lithuania Baltic recipes too , super refined imo. . . along with Hungarian dishes. Its hard to explain to kids but usually taste better if get connection between little work to get the food, more leisure time. Also food used to celebrate the friendship of particular region "microclimate"
its life and personality, joy in its beauty colors scents
listening to land water air needs.
Think for Idaho may help to find other countries at similar latitudes and their recipes.
Still good to let Hawaii visit Idaho as I feel lands like to go on vacation too, they just dont hop on boat or travel visibly. Fusion home decoration, or plants like in sunken greenhouse fun, neat to grow plumeria there imo.
Love to see mom's food ancestry Canada? maybe help picky eater with traditional stories about land and food and water. Lots of rivers have fish from ocean like salmon and eels and love both river and ocean as part of their experiences,
life.. .neat to celebrate ocean kelp and the fish they eat from it. Watch Octopus Teacher on Netflix, Set in South Africa
Shows a cool moment of octopus "dancing" celebrating "art" "music" neatness of rare visit by a unique school of fish in her kelp forest. Sort of sacred as close to end of her life, imo gift to octopus work being good.
Chee Hoo Spam Musubi Specialist. Enjoyed keiki’s reaction to the island snacks. Lol, we introduced poi to my hapa haole niece and nephew that live in Washington. I’m always amazed to see how much they love it. 🌸☀️🌈
That looked like a lot of fun. Would be awesome to do snack box's from around the world and video y'all's reactions
