The poi I know is doesn't cause any pain, it's mashed up and fermented taro root, the Hawaiian side dish.
I think they are talking about something else though :)

I didn't want to admit it, but it seems i'm not the only one who doesnt have a clue what poi is... and going to google means opening another internet window, which is frankly too much bother :P

I think we should all have bets on what Poi is. Whoever comes up with the funnist definition wins a prize!! :twisted:

I thought it was some sort of Japanese carp myself
