Did you know?
- While poke bowl is used in Spanish, some menus use the term bowl alone to refer to any healthy meal served in a bowl, regardless of whether it is Hawaiian in style.
- Despite being a Hawaiian dish, the term 'poke' is often pronounced by Spanish speakers with a very sharp, hard 'k' sound, unlike the softer Hawaiian glottal stop.
- While poke bowl is the standard term, you may see the word cuenco used in descriptions of the dish, which is the traditional Spanish word for a bowl.
