Just noticed this thread 'popped' back up from a month ago. Comments have got a little less flippant!

Can someone please clarify for me, Trader Vics is still tiki right? I mean Trader Vic is responsible for a lot of good drinks that would be called 'tiki' drinks but had no ancestral links to Polynesia? The scorpion bowl & fog cutter mugs aren't very carving like either...

I'm kidding - common sense dicates what 'tiki' is'. Tiki is not just polynesian carvings but they are one of the best parts. Have a look at this thread & post your thoughts:

I'd vote with my wallet & just not buy anything I didn't like.

There is quite a lot of cross over between Bespoke Barware & Cheeky Tiki, I like quite a few of their 'non tiki' bits I have one of their Grand Marnier Oranges that I like - it sits on my shelf with the mugs non the less:

Not 'offensively' non tiki tho right?

Maybe Tiki Farm could split their range into 'General Fun' & 'Purist'? :wink:
