Reply:yes... as the other person said, check out Oriental Trading Co. for the best inexpensive decorations. They even have grass skirts for your table! and leis, etc. Get some silk orchids at wherever the cheapest fake flowers are in UK, and strew them about the food table...

Tropical Fruit Salad: bananas, mangos, papayas, pineapple...guava, starfruit (if you can find them)





HONEY MACADAMIA PIE


1/4 c. honey


1/2 c. brown sugar


4 TB. butter


1/4 t. salt


3 eggs, beaten


1 tsp. vanilla


1 c. macadamia nuts, chopped


unbaked pie shell

WIKI WIKI CHICKEN SALAD


2 c. cubed, cooked chicken


1 c. pineapple chunks


1 c. seedless grapes, halved


1 c. cubed papaya (optional)


1/2 c. slivered almonds or chopped macadamias, toasted


mayonnaise, salt %26amp; pepper to taste ... leaf lettuce to put under it and oranges slices to garnish


Combine chicken, fruit %26amp; nuts and enough mayo to moisten; toss lightly. Season to taste %26amp; serve on lettuce leaves with orange slices





Since it's probably a little hard for you to roast a whole pig in the ground (lol), you might do pork tenderloins, or pork chops, or ham, on the BBQ with pineapple glaze/marinade. Lawry's has a good Hawaiian marinade, but I don't know if you can find it there:)... maybe something with orange marmalade?


It's really hard to give someone in UK a recipe, because I know you'll need to convert the measurements, and I'm not sure what you have available there:)
