I've noticed in Hawaiian food and drinks books and booklets I've picked up that there are a lot of recipes that just sound...Crappy. So why shouldn't we share these most likely awful (or just so bland as to not be worth it) recipes?

From a booklet called Hapa Hawaiian Pupu & Cocktails (no date or publisher listed)

Red Noodle Cooler
Red Noodle Restaurant, Waikiki

4 oz red wine
2 oz 7 Up
1/2 fresh lime.

Fill 11 oz Old Fashioned Glass with cracked ice. Pour mixture over ice.

Pele
Black Angus Restaurant, Waikiki

1/2 jigger White creme de menthe
1/2 jigger Southern Comfort

Serve in "pony" glass. Light with match, let burn approximately 30 seconds to warm drink. Blow out flame and serve.

Blow Hole Fizz

1 jigger light rum
1 part grenadine
white of one egg
1 part sweet cream

Blend all ingredients.

Ono Tasty Pepperoni Tomatoes
Frank Trott

20 cherry tomatoes
2 or 3 sticks hot pepperoni

Wash tomatoes, cut thin slices from top of each. Scoop out center. Cut pepperoni sticks into tiny pieces, mix with 1 tsp. mayonnaise and stuff tomatoes.

Pele's Hot Ripe Olives
Marge MacQueen

Add 1 large clove of pressed garlic to 1 can pitted black olives and liquid. Bring to a boil. Drain liquid and serve hot with toothpicks.

Baby in the Blanket
Kaimana Beach Hotel, Waikiki

Hard boiled eggs
Slices of sirloin beef.

1/2 cup Mirin
1/2 cup soy sauce
5 T sugar

2 t sesame oil

Slice the beef into thin slices. Remove the shells from the hard boiled eggs and wrap firmly with the beef slices. Tie with string. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Dip egg-beef roll in the sauce and boil till beef is cooked. Cool. Slice into 1/2 inch pieces and serve.
