There were tables as well with Hawaiian food: lehua poi, fish from the fishponds, fish from the sea and schooling at Pohukaina, that is Likelike street today. Kulolo was made skillfully in large bamboo internodes [punaohe], baked until done; While making kulolo in bamboo internodes comes from the kupuna of long time ago, it was beautiful; and thereafter, these kerosene cans of the new age came around that we see these day.

Our ʻohana frequently makes kulolo, so next time weʻre going to try this for a few. Iʻm assuming it was made with very large ʻohe cut perpendicular to create a bowl. I was thinking maybe to split it in half and try that way too. I agree it must be beautiful to see…
