"Gaiety reigns!" it begins, and refers to "these dishes from Trader Vic's of Oakland and San Francisco" The feast includes Water Chestnuts with Chicken Livers Kona Chicken Batter Fried Shrimp with Sauces Chinese Pease with Water Chestnuts Waikiki Salad Raspbery Sherbet with Coconut Beach Boy Punch The images show an Outrigger Salad boat made of cucumber and asparagus spears "on a sea of cottage cheese", and the Waikiki salad is served in a halved pineapple! My husband and I are thinking of doing a patio luau this summer since we most likely won't be able to get to the Hukilau in FLA (the one in Chicopee is more like it) so I will have to see how some of these turn out!
