    Should this perhaps be in another forum? I have seen some threads in the past about something called poi, and I can't remember which forum I found it in. I'm pretty sure it was in the "Art" or "Fashion & Crafts" forums, but ANYWAY: What is it?

    the good answers are in fashion/crafts. Also this would be a performing art... search over there.

    heh, according to Webster's it's also : a Hawaiian food of taro root cooked, pounded, and kneaded to a paste and often allowed to ferment
