Thanksgiving in Hawai'i, much like that of other places that celebrate thankgiving such as The Deep South, The Deep North?, The Southwest, the Northeast, Puerto Rico, Guam and even Japan all  celebrate Thanksgiving with their own style or "Flair" if you will.  Hawai'i's Thanksgiving flair is heavily dependant on the variety of Thanksgiving food that you WILL find at a local Thanksgiving dinner (or lunch).

Of course you have Turkey. Of course you have Ham. Of course you have stuffing and cranberry sauce and candied yams and all that other good stuff but do you know what I've seen over the years that I just can't imagine being without on Thanksgiving?
