Hawaiian Luau Party

The State of Hawaii is one of the United States, located on an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean southwest of the continental United States, southeast of Japan, and northeast of Australia. The state was admitted to the Union on August 21, 1959, making it the 50th state. Its capital is Honolulu on the island of Oahu. The most recent census puts the state's population at 1,211,537.

This state encompasses nearly the entire volcanic Hawaiian Island chain, which is made up of hundreds of islands spread over 1,500 miles (2,400 km). At the southeastern end of the archipelago, the eight "main islands" are (from the northwest to southeast) Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui, and Hawaii. The last is by far the largest, and is often called the "Big Island" or "Big Isle" to avoid confusion with the state as a whole. This archipelago is physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania.

The term kulua pork is frequently used to describe any pork shoulder butt which is rubbed with salt, wrapped in ti plant leaves, and slow smoked, without regard for an imu.

Kulua is a traditional Hawaiian cooking method that utilizes an imu, or underground oven. The word kulua literally means "to cook in an underground oven" and also describes the flavor of food cooked in this manner - e.g. the kulua pig (Hawaiian puaa kulua) which is commonly served at luau feasts.

Traditionally, extremely hot rocks were placed in a hole approximately 6' by 4' by 3' and the hole was lined with vegetation such as banana leaves. A salted pig was placed inside and covered with more banana leaves to preserve the heat and flavor. Then, it was covered with burlap and soil, and left to steam all day. Once removed from the imu, the pig was ready to be served.

Modern-day technology has replaced the use of rocks and leaves, but kulua pig slow-cooked in an imu pit continues to be a main attraction at most luaus. United States Department of Agriculture standards prevent traditional kalua pig from being sold commercially. Some companies have attempted to imitate the kulua taste and even devised the imu pao (an above-ground variant of the imu), but most have failed to capture the distinct taste of a kulua pig.
