Trivia: What state’s barbecue style is heavily influenced by Polynesian cuisine?
Massachusetts
Florida
Alaska
Hawaii
The correct answer is Hawaii
So why is this answer correct? : One staple of Hawaiian barbecue is a “plate lunch,” which usually contains one meat and two sides, most often rice and macaroni salad. This plate lunch concept is inspired by Polynesian cuisine, though other cultures — such as China, Japan, the Philippines, and Portugal — have also heavily influenced Hawaiian barbecue.
