Aloha,
Numa here from Aloha Island Grille, just wanted to chime in about "Da SPAM". To give you an idea of how popular Spam is, our little Hawaiian restaurant here in Santa Cruz sold about 4500 orders of Spam musubi last year. For those of you not familiar with Spam Musubi, it is a grilled slice of spam, brushed with teriyaki sauce, on a bed of rice, wrapped in seaweed. Hugely popular in Hawaii as seen on the Hawaiian Spam can.

If we sell that much here on the mainland imagine what kind of numbers they do in Hawaii. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a try, not so bad.

Cheers,
Numa

P.S. I know this isn't that Tiki related, but it is a part of Hawaiiana that you simply cannot deny. Oh, they have Spam festivals sometimes with a Spam carving contest and I'm sure there has been one or two Spam Tikis :)
