Shave Ice Paradise?

Kauai-ShaveIce01

Well, for once, our “Patrick Collin’s Ultimate Guide to Kauai” let us down. It’s true. After months of dreaming of Shave Ice and registering for a daily dose of it, we finally decided to take the Shave Ice plunge and are sorry to say, we were underwhelmed. I mean, it was refreshing and sweet, but on the whole, we found it to be merely a glorified snow cone. A small step above a slush puppy (the slush puppy gains extra points for being served in a miniature plastic baseball hardhat.) The shave ice gains points for flavor options—Kari can be seen here eating the Lango (Lime and Mango—do you think Napolean Dynamite named it?)

So, mom, thanks for the shave ice and forgive us for not going back for our second serving. Let’s just say, once was enough.
