Portuguese Sweet Bread at the Kona Historical Society on BITV

Did the Portuguese only colonize Kona? Or other parts of Hawaii?

Us Portuguese love our islands. Azores, Hawaii, Phillipines, etc... I wonder if Magellan or any other Portuguese explorers knew that from the beginning...

Thank you so much for preserving the Portuguese culture on the Big Island. I hope it inspires others to find ways to preserve and celebrate the Portuguese traditions in Hawaii. Aloha.

Wow! My dad and my mom both talked about their grandmothers making pao doce and bolinhos in a fourno on Maui and another one in the Punchbowl area of Honolulu. They also made rolls called papos secos. I thought all of these ovens had gone out of use! Good for you guys, keeping the culture alive. I miss the Portuguese food I grew up with-the food is different here in California among the Portuguese.
