Look at this comment from another food blog: "The Haupia Pie looks to be an offspring, not only of the Apple Pie, but of their previous limited offering, the Taro Pie." Poi is made with taro, but this is not their taro pie (currently offered in Thailand & Guam). Another blogger said, "Haupia just means coconut milk based. In most cases it comes in the form of gelatin, but it’s also enjoyed as a cream or custard filling as it is here."Marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784997998733075320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125540994252535150.post-4214695432988635512011-01-10T06:55:56.641-08:002011-01-10T06:55:56.641-08:00When you posted "The haupia pie is a standard...When you posted "The haupia pie is a standard hot pie like our apple and cherry, filled instead with a coconut-style cream. Interestingly, the flavor wasn’t very coconutty." I immediately thought of poi as the cream inside. People have described it just that way --- rather tasteless and creamy like Junkett would be. I love how you make eating into an adventure. xoxoxo MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125540994252535150.post-74445207619780372342011-01-06T16:58:05.141-08:002011-01-06T16:58:05.141-08:00Way to go!
