No, not Sno-Cones. That's a haole term used on the mainland referring to coarsely grated ice. You're likely to chip a tooth eating one of those.
Shave ice is an island delicacy made with finely shaved ice. A gourmet delight that melts in your mouth. You can choose among a dozen or more flavors including strawberry, passion orange and vanilla; but if you're truly diplomatic you will choose Rainbow.
And if you're really, really good, your Mom will ask the Shave Ice Guy to add a scoop of ice cream on the bottom of your cone. She may even give you a taste of her favorite version--sweetened condensed milk on the top and azuki beans on the bottom.




Onolicious!
(That's pidgin for "really yummy!")
"Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!" Psalm 34:8
