In other parts of the world where we can’t just pull big tasty fish out of the water, we have to make do with other ingredients, sorry.

- socalgal2 1y agoThat's not really the point. The point is representing something as something it's not. poke is a representation of my culture. The things others are calling poke is not. It's a misreprestation. It tastes different. It taste worse IMO. A better name could be as simple as "poke salad", "poke with rice and lettuce". But not just "poke" I don't see that as controversial. If you made a margarita with whisky you wouldn't put it on the menu as "margarita". You'd put it on the menu as "whisky margarita" to make it clear it's NOT a margarita. Same with a mojito. If you change the liquor from rum or use a fruit other than lime then you change the name. "mango mojito" etc... The same with poke. If you're going to add avocado, lettuce, edamame, rice, then don't just call it "poke". That's misprepresation of what you're serving.
