Diverting off to cabbage and Hawaiian music for a little while.
Around 50 years ago, I went to school in downtown on Bishop St.
I lived with my auntie in Papakolea up by Punchbowl.
Directly across the street was where Auntie Genoa Keawe lived.
Genoa, my aunt and Uncle were strong Mormons.
When my uncle passed away, Genoa and the church ladies came and brought tuna sandwiches for the funeral.
When I went to grab a sandwich, Genoa told me, "You know why these good? I add shredded cabbage to the tuna!"
"When you get plenty kids you gotta make'em stretch"
From that day on, I always add cabbage or perhaps cole slaw to my tuna sandwich.
It just tastes better and make da can tuna stretch.
