Portuguese sweet bread has been a popular bakery item over here since before I was born. We mostly got it from bakeries until King's Bakery got the idea to sell it in supermarkets. Then they had the idea to sell it on the mainland and change the name to "King's Hawaiian Sweet Bread" and the rest is history.

Portuguese sweetbread is mostly made at home by old Portuguese ladies in big batches. It is a yellowish bread that traditionally contains potato and eggs. The recipes for Hawaiian bread that I've seen typically contain pineapple juice which is not an ingredient in King's or any other sweetbread made commercially. It's confusing alright.

French toast made with sweetbread is a popular breakfast item in restaurants and it's easy enough to make at home - if you can get your hands on some sweetbread.
