The Hawaiian book is mostly "Faux Hawaiian" food from the 70s - cocktail weiners in orange marmalade, etc. Many of the recipes include MSG as an ingredient :lol: Very entertaining.
The Island Recipes is actually a reprint of a 1947 book. Contains recipes for Turtle Soup, dishes made from "avocada pears", paw paws, choko, breadfruit, taro, and grenadilla. The recipe for "A Good Touring Curry" calls for 1 tin of "Square Meat" (can't find out what that is? Some sort of Spam?), 1 tin of "Ox and Palm" (a corned beef), and New Caledonian crab. Very interesting!
