anhōhīke
anhōhīke
1) the quality of having been deliberately prepared to be eaten; the quality of having been cooked.
2) the abstract concept of food preparation or cooking.
anhōhīke requires preparation, but it does not require subjecting something to heat. Ceviche (and I’m sure the Kēleni have something like ceviche, though I don’t know the word for it) would be anhōhīke, though not necessarily “cooked”.
[I have a few more food and cooking words, and then I thought I’d try a different subject. Any suggestions?]
