Shave Ice Hawaiian Shaved Ice Tie

When President Obama and his family were in Hawaii over the New Year's holiday in 2010, they stopped by a shave ice stand for a taste of this local favourite. "Shave ice" is the Hawaii term for "shaved ice" or "snow cone." We eat it like everyone else…shaved ice topped with sweetened syrups. But we also add our own twists to the mix. Hawaiian shaved ice flavours include tropical syrups like passion fruit, coconut, and guava. Some people like to add a spoonful of ice cream or sweetened azuki red beans to the bottom. Another variation is shaved ice with sweetened condensed milk on top. This tie features a shave ice image of four snow cones: red, blue, yellow, and one rainbow shave ice. The design is repeated all over the tie. If you are a shave ice lover, this is a colourful addition to your collection. But be forewarned: this will make you want some shave ice right now!
