Actually ATP, you know I only addressed it for future newbies who are surfing and lurking. The title seriously threw me off, and I had never seen the thread before today. It could have been up there for a year or an hour, wouldn't have made any difference in my case. I also wasn't 'grilling' anyone, but rather clarifying how I saw, and interpreted it.

As for Sven's pic of Babalu's weiner, that is between them two! :lol: (I kid), but really that is actually what I had expected to see when reading the previous title, unique tiki food. Either that or exotic/tropical ingredient based foods. If you look, I haven't posted much in the past months, but I came on today and asked a question of Dr Z in Beyond Tiki...Then I went surfing...:D
No animosity, no hard feelings, no hating from me. Just wanted to add my opinion on what I think 'tiki food/dinner' could be. Especially since you were asking what would define "Tiki Dinner".

The title now, is much more fitting, and will be less confusing for Vets of TC, as well as Newer lurkers.

As for Erk, you think since corndogs are made from pork, they are tiki-ish, I have to still stand by original comment that they are in fact, a Fair Food. The only way you could get me to go along with corndogs are/could be tiki, would be by having the batter made with coconut shavings & macadamia nuts, deep fried, and then adding a final tropical sauce to compliment it.
Sorta like what PukaDog does. http://www.pukadog.com/
Be sure to see their relishes too!(below image)

If we have to agree to disagree, its OK. We are both entitled to our opinions. Corndogs are fun, but unless they come with a carved face or special tropical sauce and batter, they will never be tiki to me.

On that note, let the food postings resume their pace.
