My final word on the Brouhaha that erupted over the last 24 hours right here on our humble thread
And from this point on will be called "The Great Tiki Food War of 2010"

Empirical evidence has come to light which proves my previous opinion to be fact! on just what constitutes the category
of what is "Tiki Food"

I have spent the last few hours researching Vintage Tiki menus from the 1940s,1950s & 1960s
to see what food was in fact served at these Restaurants & Bars,Guess what? Surf-n-Turf, Chinese, Indian ,American & French cuisine,"escargot" yes Snails!Sweetbread's & Turtle soup for example.

and were the norm at most of the old school Tiki Establishments, even Mexican food as Mike has shown.

The one true constant was Tropical Cocktails,which prove to be the only prerequisite of having a true Tiki menu.

The Tropical food that most of you associate with Tiki came into vogue in the late 1960s,1970s and 80s and was "Hawaiian" influenced
most of you are to young to know better.

Proof that Mai Tai,Tom Slick(sorry Tom) and others are sorely mistaken,I suspect Sven was waiting for us to find the proof on our own?
Just check all the vintage Tiki menus for the proof,no more arguments about it.

So in summation I say, :P IN YOUR FACE! BAZINGA! HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW! KNEEL BEFORE ZOD! BITCHES! :P
I would like to thank the Jury for their patience & Court is adjourned.
