Hawaii makes chocolate - and it´s delicious!

Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory When you come to the Aloha State, go beyond the mai tais and and enjoy some divine, locally grown chocolate! The Hawaiian islands are home a number of chocolate-making companies, and most are bean-to-bar businesses. Hawaii is the only U.S. state which grows cacao, then processes and makes it into bars and other cocoa products. I've done my share of eating chocolates on the different islands, and I find the chocolate confections not overly sweet and…

Yes, a little briny taste and aroma but not overwhelming. There's a video of it: http://www.paradisecoast.com/videos

How interesting. The seawater has also other minerals too. It might give seafood pasta an other-worldly aroma. Thanks JoNell for that link.

That IS quite interesting. My mom taught me to add a pinch of salt to water when boiling pasta, but I imagine actual brine from the ocean must impart a somewhat -- well, briny taste, no?

Gulf of Mexico Pasta recipe no photos.doc
Chef Fabrizio Aielli says they used to do it in Italy when he was a kid. He recommends half a pot of seawater and half fresh. Bring to boil and cook pasta 6 to 7 minutes. Then stir pasta into sauce and reheat. Recipe is attached. I tried it and it is delicious. The only salt in the dish is from the water.

JoNell, this is inteesting. I have never had pasta cooked in seawater. I have had shellfish and mollusks cooked in seawater in Galicia, Spain, in the Chilean coast towns and in Arcachon (Gironde-Bordeaux). Do you have the chef's recipe? How long does he boil the pasta in seawater?
