Watch Barack Obama eat more shave ice
Y'know, even though it was one of the many, many reasons I supported him, only now that the rest of the world is paying attention to what he's eating am I really feeling the impact of having a fellow Hawaii-born Kama'aina in the White House.
No, it's not just that President-elect Barack Obama is stirring interest in treats unique to the islands, like Spam musubi (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2008/12/watch-barack-obama-eat-spam-musubi.html) and shave ice (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2008/08/watch-barack-obama-eat-shave-ice.html), but I think he's stirring enough interest that I may see shave ice come to Washington DC. Perhaps street vendors will jump on the trend and serve up Obama's favorite snack. Maybe local dessert spots will add this simple treat to their menus. And who knows how many used shave ice machines will show up on eBay after the fad passes. A half-price share ice machine could be just a few months away. (Hand-powered machines are going cheap right now.)
