    LOL @ 2nd panel. Poor Nemu. He could have used some warning there.

    Hint: The key to this particular strip is in the title. ^_^

    I think most people's reaction to poi is very similar to Anise and Nemu's. Poi is actually very healthy in its base form - being pounded taro root and water. However, to get kids like me to eat it, my family put a sugar bowl on the table so we could sprinkle it on top. I like to eat it like a creme brulee, but most mix it in.

    My dad likes to eat it with lomi lomi salmon (a.k.a. lomi lomi tomato, as the salmon is all but disintegrated) or mixed with his laulau... but maybe that's better saved for another story. XD

    I live in Honolulu Downtown and my dad ALWAYS gives me poi with Ahi fish. It tasted funny the first time too, then I got used to it.

Webcomic Transcription

Just A Little Sugar

Panel 1: Nemu is sitting in the booth next to Kana at Wiki Wiki Coconut Tiki's. Kana hands Nemu the small bowl of Poi.
Kana: Here Nemu - have some poi!
Nemu: Poi?

Panel 2: Looking really sad after taking a spoonful, Nemu tells Kana what he thinks.
Nemu: Gooey ish good but... TASTES FUNNY!

Panel 3:Kana opens a small packet of sugar and drops it into Nemu's bowl of poi. Nemu looks in wonder.
Kana: A little trick I learned from my Hawaiian Pen Pal!

Panel 4: Nemu's frown turns into a smile as he tastes his sweet delicious treat!
Nemu: Ooh! Ish just like dessert!
