And at parties and luaus, he really let go, consuming three bowls of two-finger poi and "everything else on the table": kalua pig, pork laulau (pork and salmon wrapped in taro leaves), pulehu aku (dried fish), lomi (salmon, raw, with tomatoes and chopped onion), chicken luau, dried squid, raw fish and limu (chopped seaweed), baked breadfruit and baked taro, haupia (coconut pudding), all washed down...

But on his second chance, Funnyman Cox chiefly tried for laughs in a masochistic spectacle of eating crow and sadly cackling over the original egg he laid.
