Tiki Chex mix sounds good (except the wasabi, YUK! :D ) How about a dried tropical fruit mix for those with a sweet tooth? |

I'm thinking that Tiki chex mix might work -- wasabi peas being picked-outable! -- and maybe wonton chips? I suppose a dried fruit mix might also be viable, but most bar snacks lean to the spicy/salty to get folks drinking some more. |

Turns out my birthday will be on a Saturday this year and so, a Tikifest is to be held. Any suggestions (in terms of a recipe/flavor combination, not decoration) for a Tiki cake? Mahalo in advance. |

Banana cake sounds good! How about a rum cake with an orange glaze? You could sprinkle toasted, slivered almonds over it for a topper, add orange zest or even lime zest to the glaze. It would be a Mai-Tai cake. :) I bet you could take base ingredients from any number of drink recipes and turn them into some sort of cake combination. I want some... with a side of rum please! |

It's been talked about on another TC thread, but the tiki cocktail cake would be my pick. Obviously I like coconut and chocolate! |

Those all look amazing. I made myself a giant sushi cake a few years ago, it isn't the one pictured below, but that's where I got the idea, except I used super thin slices of watermelon for the ginger. It was amazing. I think this year, I may need to make a tiki mug cake now :) |

I do not disagree one tiny bit! Keep 'em coming! My only suggestion, for those of us who simply canNOT get red jalapeños, is to replace with Fresno chiles. Thanks for posting this. [ Edited by: jokeiii 2013-06-11 12:26 ] |

I'm guessing those duck wings will also release a lot of drippings which might be: a) repurposed for something else, or Just a thought. |

Made some deep fried ribs for a Southern Style dinner. Seasoned and completely baked them, dipped them in egg, dredged them in seasoned flour, then deep fried them just long enough to cook the coating - about 3 to 5 minutes. They were good, but what does that have to do with Tiki food? I glazed some leftover fried ribs in spicy orange sauce and they were DELICIOUS!!! I would have done some things differently if I had planned to use them as "Tiki" food; cut them in half for appitizers, season with Chinese Five Spice, and dredge in cornstarch instead of seasoned flour. Could glaze with spicy orange, sweet & sour, or char siu. |

That sounds great MDM! I bet they would also be great if you smoked them first, then breaded/fried/glazed. Yum! |

If you want authentic tiki style fried ribs (Pipi Kaula) it is actually pretty easy yet can be somewhat unnerving to some in how you prepare them. You take beef short ribs, cut them up recs will explain it better), give them a dunk in a soy based marinade, then let them hang/dry in the air for hours up to a day before frying them. |

Had dinner at the Tonga Hut Palm Springs on Saturday, you should go as soon as you get a chance. I ordered Chef Sherman Chan's Kalua Pork - I expected shredded pork as it is usually served, but was surprised to get a couple of large chunks instead. It was delicious, tender and juicy with just enough sweetness in the glaze and a hint of Chinese Five Spice. I decided to try an "inspired" version. I took a 4 pound pork loin and cut it into 8 portions. I dropped it in the Crock Pot on low for 10 hours with a bottle of Spicy Hawaiian Mango marinade. Then I carefully pulled the braised chunks out and placed them on a cookie sheet. I sprinkled a little Five Spice on and brushed them with bottled Honey Teriyaki, stuck them in a 350 oven until the glaze started to caramelize (about 10-15 minutes) and then garnished them with a little toasted sesame seed. Turned out excellent (not as good as the Tonga Hut of course :D ) Elegant and very easy, total hand-on time was probably only 15 minute, a nice addition to the Tiki Food repertoire |

Ohhh, the crock pot chicken does sound good. I'm thinking instead of just pineapple juice, use some fresh pineapple chunks and a touch of ginger (maybe some 5-spice). I just can't leave a recipe alone. HAHA

Finally getting around to doing a luau-style pool party for the 4th of July. I am kicking around the idea of doing Kahlua Pig for the party, and was wondering if any of you had done one that way (the whole pit in the ground style) and had any advice or tips, or seasoning ideas. Also, if you have any ideas on other recipes to accompany the pig? I have gotten a lot of good ideas here on this thread! Any input would be appreciated! |

Have never tried to dig anything in my backyard, so in that respect I can't help. But! Here is my go-to "hack" on Kalua Pork, from Cook's Country Magazine via a blogger, since the link I posted earlier is dead. http://traceysculinaryadventures.com/2012/09/hawaiian-style-smoked-pork-kalua-pork.html The seasoning is spot-on and approximates the banana leaf thing really well. HTH! |

Something I'm working on (from Emeril Legasse's “The Art of Tiki: A Cocktail Showdown” at the South Beach Food & Wine Festival earlier this year) is this Tiki slider: A Hawaiian sweet roll stuffed with braised short ribs (Korean kalbi) with hybrid slaw/kimchi topping and a cilantro garlic mayonnaise (i.e., aioli). The original had a little fried quail egg, too...but I may skip that as being a bit too fussy. (Edited to credit the chef who came up with this: Eric Rhee of Terrazza.) Stay tuned!

I've made calcutta curry from a recipe that can be found in the book Trader Vic's Tiki Party a couple of times. It's very delicious and the ingredients are cheap and easy to find. The only little (?) tweak I've made to the recipe is that I double or triple the amount of coconut milk and add some sugar, making it extremely creamy. This may be something to make for kids! |

What about tiki pancakes? Ceylon cinnamon syrup with pancakes is very tasty. Next time I´ll try to add some coconut flakes to the pancake batter. |

How about outrigger canoe food? I was making zucchini boats - this is Italian with sausage, peppers, mushrooms, and mozz cheese. And I thought why not? Fill them with kalua pork, rice?, grilled pineapple?, etc. Add a small zucchini or asparagus outrigger and some bamboo skewers to connect the outrigger to the canoe, put it on an ocean blue plate. Add a cucumber orca if you want. Viola - Tiki entree and salad :lol:

I recently came across this Longines Symphonette box set, and I almost didn't grab it until I found out what else was inside. The music is pretty much what you'd expect - absurdly lush string arrangements, dance band versions of Hawaiian songs, and vocals that would be right at home on the Lawrence Welk show (although I should say that you could easily lift all the dance band songs from this collection and make a half-decent album.) In reality, this is a "Luau in a Box." Stuffed in with the discs was all the original album club ephemera, including two sweepstakes entries for a Hawaiian vacation and a picture book of the islands with "suggested recipes" to accompany your exotic listening party. The recipes, like the music, are highly westernized and geared toward your average 1971 shopping list. Out of the list the most appetizing ones look like the ginger-honey chicken with snow peas and the honey-butter glazed fruit-and-coconut kebabs. |

Here's one that was reportedly a favorite of my Grandmother in the '60s: Polynesian Pork. 2 pork chops, trimmed and cubed Coat the cubed pork with the egg wash. Cover with cornstarch and let rest for 15-20 minutes. In a high-sided pan, fry the pork cubes in 1 inch of hot oil until golden brown, being careful not to overfill the pan. Rest the fried pork on a paper towel to drain. Drain the oil from the pan and save the browned cornstarch. In the same high-sided pan, saute the vegetables in oil over high heat until tender. Remove vegetables from pan. Add browned cornstarch, pineapple juice, soy sauce, and mirin. Cook this mixture, adding more cornstarch until the sauce thickens. Return vegetables to the pan, and add pineapple chunks. Stir until hot. Serve with the fried pork over rice or fried noodles. |

Picked up this recipe flier at a little German gift shop on my latest trip to the Midwest. It's an absolute time capsule of a place - the window displays are bleached pure blue. The pile of pamphlets has evidently been sitting there, barely touched, since the 1980s. Fair warning: if you're not a fan of Swiss cheese, these recipes aren't for you. "Pupu with a Swiss Accent" "Cheese Puffs Aloha" "Chäswähe (cheese pie) Kiwi" "Yakitori Suisse" "Ku-Jul-Pan" with choice of three fillings |

Hang10Tiki hooked me up with some cookbooks at Tiki Oasis :D Some of the cook books are arguable from the "devolution" period but the 1964 Wiki Wiki Kau Kau is undeniably Tiki. Let's see what I can find in here to cook. |
