Note 64 — Introductory material (continued 6)

Puholo: to cook by steaming. The food desired to be cooked is placed in a container, usually a calabash, together with the ingredients necessary to make it palatable; one or more hot stones are dropped into the container and it is covered up and left to steam till cooked. Food prepared in this way is more delicious than when kalua-ed (underground cooking). ↑
