Readers’ Pick:
Shave Ice
Our readers love shave ice. For the third straight year you recognized it as your favorite Hawaii snack, worthy of even a presidential palette. When Barack Obama—not yet elected president—vacationed on Oahu last August he swung by Kailua’s Island Snow Hawaii for the icy treat. What did he get? Obama passed on the plain rainbow cone, opting for such exotic flavors as “choo-choo cherry,” “da kine lemon-lime” and “tangy guava orange.”
