Pipikaula

Last updated

Pipikaula ("beef rope") is a Hawaiian cuisine dish of salted and dried beef similar to beef jerky. [1] Pipikaula was eaten by Hawaiian cowboys (paniolos). It was usually broiled before serving. [2]

History

In the 19th century John Parker brought Mexican cowboys to train the Hawaiians in cattle ranching. [3] The Hawaiian cowboys of Kamuela and Kula came to be called paniolos . Cattle ranching grew rapidly for the next one hundred years. In 1960, half of the land in Hawaii was devoted to ranching for beef export, but by 1990 the number had shrunk to 25 percent. [4] The paniolos chewed pipikaula.

With the influence of Asian cooking, beef strips are commonly marinated in soy sauce. [1] When beef is dried in the sun, a screened box is traditionally used to keep the meat from dust and flies. Dried meat could often be found as a relish or appetizer at a lū‘au. [1]

Cowboy Traditional ranch worker in North America

A cowboy is an animal herder who tends cattle on ranches in North America, traditionally on horseback, and often performs a multitude of other ranch-related tasks. The historic American cowboy of the late 19th century arose from the vaquero traditions of northern Mexico and became a figure of special significance and legend. A subtype, called a wrangler, specifically tends the horses used to work cattle. In addition to ranch work, some cowboys work for or participate in rodeos. Cowgirls, first defined as such in the late 19th century, had a less-well documented historical role, but in the modern world work at identical tasks and have obtained considerable respect for their achievements. Cattle handlers in many other parts of the world, particularly South America and Australia, perform work similar to the cowboy.
