What else to eat on Hawaiian night but Pineapple Upside Down cake.
This was a particularly toothsome sweet treat but to go with it I thought I'd make a proper Island recipe called Haupia.
When I first read this recipe I imagined it would be like a coconut custard, a sort of tropical blancmange that would go nicely with the cakey goodness of the pineapple cake but by the time I'd finished my research I was beginning to worry as pictures showed something more like coconut ice, cut into cubes and served on ti leaf saucers.
Anyway, I went ahead and cooked the gloop, and stirred it, and stirred it and stirred it and then put it to set in the fridge.
Come serving time, oh my, it was still gloop and rather unattractive gloop at that. Think wallpaper paste, think porn films, think disgusting.
We did try to eat it, honestly, but we were all laughing too hard.
