Pele's Nachos!?! MMMMMmmmmmmmmmm!!! Sounds terrific! I've been to the Suresave Recipe site a few times before. They have some Tremendous Ideas. Also visited a Tapas restaurant on Friday just to see what was what. Pu-pu and Tapas are, of course, the same thing in different languages. I thought the Coconut Encrusted Shrimp sounded doable.
Thanks, too, for mentioning Shrimp Toast, Al. Believe it or not... My mother used to make that for Cocktail parties back when I was a child (which, of course, could've been LAST WEEK according to my wife). That stuff is Yummy!
Great idea too, SlovakTiki, about the Aluminum Foil. Princess Kukana had already suggested using Banana Leaves to line the wooden bowls. As to her moniker... It was generated by the Coconut Boys on their website http://www.hisurf.com/hawaiian/names.html . There you can type in a name (in her case Susan) and it will spit out an Hawaiian Translation. I can't imagine why anyone in Hawaii would've ever wanted to say "Susan" before the evil white man got there and taught them how to play string instruments, but I guess they might have. Or, maybe, the Coconut Boys just made it all up. Anyhow, she is princess of our own little island up here on the hill in Blue Ridge, SC. She rules, with a velvet fist, her loyal subjects: Stella (a Plott Hound), Inez (a Mutt who's Mother is a Plott Hound) and Myself. AND, boy howdy, she is a GREAT SHOPPER when it comes to Pu-pu Platters!
