How about a nice Hawaiian punch?

No doubt some of you older Americans remember those commercials.

But a friend who is moving to Hawaii in the not too distant future has a birthday party coming up.  I've been asked to provide some appropriate island edibles.  Should be fun.  I won't be digging up the backyard to do a real kahlua pig, but I am looking for some other ideas.

Wish I could fly over there, sample a couple dozen poke varieties and such.  Such is not to happen.  Oh well.

And I'll plan on two scoops of rice.

Kahlua pig? Yum. When I was in Hawaii, even McDonalds had spam, so spam would be fitting. If you have some good tuna, tuna poke is everywhere down there, in many different forms.

By the way, spam may be gross, but somehow when it's served as a breakfast meal at McDonalds with a side of steamed rice and soy sauce, it hits the spot.

I just finished up a hunk-o pipikaula or Hawaiian style beef jerky using a recipe that another Chef Talk member gave me, it's WAY better than the type I of jerky I find here on the mainland. ...
Are you comparing the pipikaula to commercially made jerky in the U.S.? Ain't no comparison with the commercially made cr*p here. The beef jerky I make sells out within a couple of days and so... /img/vbsmilies/smilies/smiles.gif

I don't know

Both dearest husband and I were NOT enamored by it.

Maybe we're just too poiled by what we ate back in Hawaii, and mine was at very best a sloppy 4th at best.
