Talk:Saimin

message: Gerald, the definition of "delicacy" is: something pleasing to eat that is considered rare or luxurious, as 'caviar is a delicacy' .  Saimin is a food of many ingredients, none is rare; and neither is saimin itself.  I'm searching for better word(s) - Marshman 17:39, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: I placed the  template in the article because the writing tone sounds more like it belongs in a children's fable than in an informational piece. Broad statements such as "In some ways, saimin gave birth to Hawaii's notoriety as a haven of multicultural harmony today" need to be replaced with more useful details and facts. 
There also seems to be inconsistent use of "Hawaii" and "Hawai'i".--Poiuyt Man (talk) 11:05, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Removal of pictures

message: I have to question this statement. Every person has his definition of what is and what isn't nutritious. According to the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, just the noodles themselves contain 225mg of sodium! With the soup base and garnishes, the sodium content shoots up to 425mg. This is a large amount, considering that large amounts of sodium in a diet can lead to high blood pressure. Sure I get my fill of some green onion and egg, but at the same time my blood pressure shoots up a notch. And, the reference to schools serving saimin for lunch needs citing. I service computers at various schools throughout the DOE, and not once have I ever seen saimin on any school lunch menu. If one or two schools serve saimin, that still doesn't allow a generalization like to be made. Groink 10:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unclear sources 

message: The history part with plantation laborers of various ethnicities is somewhat dubious. My paternal grandparents lived on a plantation and although different ethnicities socialized, things were not nearly as integrated as the article makes it sound. Plantation homes were grouped into neighborhoods by ethnicity. On the Ewa (sugar) Plantation, there was Fernandez Village (Filipino), Tenney Village (largely Japanese), and Korean Camp, among others.

message: I found the info about Saimin on the McDonalds Menu particularly interesting and checked one McDonalds in Lihue. Noone there knew about it. Very disappointingly they did not have it on the menu ;(
