: Hi,
: Iam doing a wedding/ luau. The client wants poy. What would you figure- I am thinking 1 ounce per person. Am I close?
: Also does anyone have a source for papaya seed salad dressing or a recipe? Wedding is 100 people.
: Thanks in advance. Hi Carl!
I assume you are referring to "Poi", fermeted taro root, that many native hawaiians use as a condiment or side item, most of us in the mainland would need an acquired taste to eat very much, I believe that 1 oz/ is sufficient.....as for the papaya seed dressing, you can get papaya in glass jars at many local stores and use the puree to make a vinaigrette or emulsified vinaigrette dressing, hope this helps........sam sears, cec......many years ago I got poi from a company in hawaii called "the poi company", that sells many native products & ships everywhere, good luck......sam
