Earth and Space News: Inamona Hawaiian Salted Nut Sauce Actuates Magnum’s Day of the Viper

Summary: Inamona Hawaiian salted nut sauce actuates Magnum’s Day of the Viper Jan. 21, 2019, and maybe A Leopard on the Prowl May 8, 2020, re-aired Aug. 22, 2020.

Inamona Hawaiian salted nut sauce actuates Magnum’s Day of the Viper television series episode Jan. 21, 2019, and perhaps Magnum’s A Leopard on the Prowl May 8, 2020, re-aired Aug. 22, 2020.

First-season 13th-episode director Bryan Spicer and writers David Fury, Eric Guggenheim and Gene Hong balance betrayal with a basket of chips, dip, poke and quarter waters. Second-season 20th-episode director Bryan Spicer and writers Eric Guggenheim and Peter Lenkov cause Icepick (Corbin Bernsen) to celebrate compassionate parole with bar drinks and perhaps poke. The first-season and the second-season crime action drama episodes deal with deceit directed respectively by depressed Icepick and desperate Ian Pryce (Nigel Lindsay) against devoted friends.

Theodore Calvin (Stephen Hill) exchanges poke Hawaiian fish salad for Taipei consulate gala entry tickets from David Gomez (Chad Lerma) and the latter’s plus-one (Annastasia Fiala-Watkins).

Robin’s Nest co-residents Juliet Higgins (Perdita Weeks) and Thomas Magnum (Jay Hernandez) figure out Ian’s false friendship after they fit, with filched tickets, among 300-plus guests.

Rick Wright (Zachary Knighton) gets grief from the Honolulu Police Department for not giving pre-emptive details when father figure Icepick goes through with a warehouse heist. Perhaps Theodore, who has the nickname TC, heaped the basket for the ticket heist with poke Hawaiian fish salad from his beachfront bar business with Rick. Authentic, traditional poke Hawaiian fish salad intermingles fresh octopus (he’e locally) or tuna (ahi) meat with inamona Hawaiian salted nut sauce and red seaweed (limu kohu).

Inamona Hawaiian salted nut sauce joins together brown-red sea salt and tasty kernels inside fleshy, pitted, thin-skinned fruits on candlenut (kukui locally, Aleurites moluccanus scientifically) trees.

Alaea red volcanic clay keeps sea salt, known as Hawaiian salt commonly and as pa’akai (from Hawaiian pa’a, “hardened, solid” and kai, “ocean water”) locally, brown-red.

Ancient Hawaiian culture linked alaea (from Hawaiian ‘alaea, “red”) salt, lodging red clay and unrefined salt particles, with cleansed, purified, blessed canoes, homes, temples and tools. It marinated, preserved and seasoned such traditional Hawaiian meat dishes as kalua puaa (from Hawaiian kālua, “to cook in an imu [underground oven]” and pua’a, “pig”). It likewise nurtured pipikaula (jerky, from Hawaiian pipi, “beef” and kaula, “rope”) meat dishes and poke (“to cut crosswise into pieces, to slice”) Hawaiian fish salads.

Inamona Hawaiian salted nut sauce obliged ancient Hawaiian fish and meat dishes and such ancient Hawaiian vegetable dishes as red seaweed (limu kohu, Asparagopsis taxiformis scientifically).

Tradition-true Hawaiians process kukui nutmeats for fish, meat and vegetable pastes by putting candlenut drupe (from Latin drūpa, from Greek δρύππᾱ, “olive”) centers over hot coals.

Ancient Hawaiians then queued the coal-blackened, roasted kukui nutmeats into cold water to quicken the internal kernel quitting the heated and quickly cooled outer, secondary husk. Their heavy pohaku (from Hawaiian pōhaku, “stone”) and ipukui (mortar, from Hawaiian ipu, “vessel” and ku’i, “to strike”) rendered citrus-, earth-, evergreen-flavored, crushed, ground, husk-freed nutmeats. Their bottle gourds (ipu, Lagenaria siceraria) stored for six months crunchy, semi-bitter inamona (from Hawaiian ‘īna’i, “garnish” and momona, “sweet”), oftenest served fresh-crushed, ground and salted.

Bar counter-tended and picnic basket-transported poke tendered, with or without inamona Hawaiian salted nut sauce, tells how truly, untruly Rick and TC transmit Hawaiian culinary traditions.

Juliet Higgins (Perdita Weeks) and Thomas Magnum (Jay Hernandez) masquerade as author and scholar David Gomez (Chad Lerma) and his plus-one (Annastasia Fiala-Watkins) at Taipei Consulate event, where they hope to interrogate cultural attaché Jing Kuan (James Taku Leung), who purports to know the identity of mysterious assassin Viper (Nigel Lindsay), who killed Juliet's MI6 fiancé, Richard Dane, in Magnum P.I.'s The Day of the Viper (season 1 episode 13): What2Vue @What2Vue, via Twitter Dec. 11, 2018
