The Swap Meet



The Swap Meet is like what we at home call our Farmer's Market.  

WEB SITE FOR SWAP MEET:   http://www.mauiexposition.com/MAUISWAPMEET.html

    It is held every Saturday morning from 7 AM to 1 PM at the University of Hawaii, Maui College   in Kahului.   There is an entrance fee of 50. Cents.

  I think it is totally worth going to.  One can buy produce for the week.  The produce is  fresh, locally grown and a bit cheaper than the local supermarkets.  There are also amazing tropical flowers direct from the growers..  Go early, it gets very hot and the good produce goes quickly! 
There are over 200 stands with crafts, souvenirs, flowers,  clothes and jewelry.   

  If you are adventurist, try a Spam musubi, it  is a popular snack (lunch) in Hawaii composed of a slice of grilled Spam on top of a block of rice, wrapped together with nori dried seaweed in the tradition of Japanese omusubi.  There is a truck at the Swap meet that makes them fresh and they are still warm.   There is also a stand that sells fresh fruit popsicles.  Delicious!  An other thing to try is the Malasadas with haupia, oh so good!
