Why were women in Hawaii not allowed to eat bananas or coconuts?

Pork, bananas, coconuts, and certain fish were among the foods that were kapu (forbidden) to women. King Kamehameha II abolished these laws and many others in the year 1819. He validated this change in tradition by having a symbolic feast where men and women were not only able to eat together, but to share the same food. At this feast one of the main dishes involved wrapping chicken in the young leaves of the taro plant and baking it in coconut milk. This dish was called 'Luau' and as a result of its being one of the main courses, the feasts themselves came to be called 'Luaus'.
