On the inside flap it says "Anyone who relishes sumptuous, exotic dining and drinking (the kind exemplified by Trader Vic's famous establishment around the world) will find what he is looking for in these pages". Personally, I think the word "exotic" is the key word with anything tiki. By simply including pineapple/or coconut does not make or not make it a "tiki" meal. Pictures on between pages 128-9, Lobster Cantonese and Curried Lamb Cheeks. Pictures between pages 192-3, Green Enchiladas with Sour Cream and Texan Sonofabitch Stew. Pictures between pages 224-5, Tacos and Tamales and Presidio Chili. Tiki recipes? There cocktail recipes are in the back. Are they all "tiki" drinks? Couldn't tell you. Too bad the folks voicing negative comments weren't around to let Trader Vic know that he really didn't know what a tiki menu required. Just sayin....
