Pidgin To Da Max (1981)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   "Shave Ice" and "Malassada" and much more are explained in THE FOOD OF PARADISE (1996) by Rachel Laudan.  This is the best Hawaiian food book I could find.  It won a cookbook award....She says that "malassada" is in Katherine Bezore's Hawaiian cookbook (1940).  I have that copied somewhere in my apartment.
   Mariani got his 1955 "haupia" from DARE (just re-checked).  Boy, is DARE awful on these things.  If DARE doesn't have "shave ice," just don't blame me!
