Shave Ice Anyone?
What is Shave Ice?
This is a favorite in Hawaii and with former Hawaiian resident President Barack Obama. His picture eating this Hawaiian delicacy has been shown all over the world. Similar to Snow Cones found elsewhere, Hawaiian Shave Ice tends to be a bit finer in texture and often comes complete with a scope of ice cream over which are added condensed milk and favored ice shavings.
