I'm not Ophelia, either. You weren't around to know about the
refrigerator (yeast) rolls I used to make. It was a recipe from an old
Good Housekeeping cookbook, circa 1979. I used to do a lot more baking
than I do now, including baking loaves of what could be called Challah
(braided egg bread).

I've only tasted "Hawaiian" bread at parties, with the innerds scooped
out, filled with spinach dip. The bread itself is entirely too sweet
for my taste.

Yep, the "Hawaiian" bread I've tasted is incredibly sweet. No thanks!

I'm glad your husband liked them! I didn't cut the proportions. I only
have one cast iron corn stick pan so I poured the rest of the batter in
an old dark muffin tin.

Every restaurant in NYC that does short order cook breakfasts serves
corn muffins... bran muffins too, and blueberry muffins... most
bakeries and supermarkes sell corn muffins, even convenience stores
and delis too. In NYC people eat corn muffins, not so much corn
bread.

Thank you... they're advertised on TV all the time and I was thinking
to buy some... now I won't. During winter I bake rolls, sweet dough
sticky buns to die for.... I'll bake my deep dish pizza pan full, just
once because they are too addictive, they are big adn nobody can eat
just one, they are loaded with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and
pecans. Sticky buns are sweet but they're supposed to be sweet.

That's why I have eight of those mini loaf pans... handy for extra
batter and they take up little space as they nest... and are handy for
all kinds foods from mini meat loaves to molded aspics to jumbo
brownies. I even use one for my two most often used pepper mills,
collects the last dribs rather than it dust up my kitchen cabinet.

$3.99 for rolls don't seem excessively high. We don't call it Hawaiian rolls over here. It's called Portuguese sweet bread in Hawaii. Where would Hawaii be without the Portuguese? We'd have bread but no Portuguese sweet bread.. We'd have sausages but no Portuguese sausage. We'd have jokes but no Pordagee jokes - probably no ukuleles or malasadas either.

Uh, so? I said they didn't serve corn muffins when I ate there for
breakfast in Memphis. I didn't say they don't sell corn muffin mix. I
don't need no steekin' mix.

I confess to limited experience. We have a Hawaiian restaurant in town.
I was surprised to see it open here and thought it was a bold
experience. I had no direct experience with Hawaiian food, but from what
I had seen and read about it, it did not appeal. I tried it. Yep.... way
too sweet.

Janet and I were replying to Gary's mention of packaged bread/rolls
called "Hawaiian". It's a brand. I have NO idea whether or not it's
actually Hawaiian. Doubtful, don't care. It's definitely sweet and
mushy soft. No thanks.

Yep, every restaurant here serves them as well. You get your
choice of corn muffins or corn sticks with your lunch/supper.
Deli's at the super markets also serve cornbread.

that's a different kind of sweet and it is pleasurable. I haven't
ever made a bread or rolls that taste or smell like this. They are
very popular so there must be a market for them.

The Portuguese were among the first well recorded explorers, but their
exploits were fairly limited. They were a fishing nation, so they were
naturally good sailors. One of the most famous Portuguese explorers was
Magellan, but he sailed on behalf of the Spanish.

There is more than a little irony in the expansion of the British
Empire. The Spanish were hell bent on bringing England back onto the
fold of the Roman Catholic church. They were plundering South American
gold and silver to finance their attempts to to do that. Queen Elizabeth
licenced privateers to intercept the Spanish galleons, which put money
into the English coffers and denied it to the Spanish crown. That lead
to the growth of a navy that was capable of founding, establishing and
protecting settlements around the world and they ended up with an empire
that spanned the globe.

The British may not have been perfect, but most of their colonies
thrived and some of them have become the most successful countries in
the world.

What do you serve with it? The same as Cheri?

$3.99 for rolls don't seem excessively high. We don't call it Hawaiian rolls
over here. It's called Portuguese sweet bread in Hawaii. Where would Hawaii
be without the Portuguese? We'd have bread but no Portuguese sweet bread.
We'd have sausages but no Portuguese sausage. We'd have jokes but no
Pordagee jokes - probably no ukuleles or malasadas either.

It looks more like a fake Johnny cake, than cornbread.

A better question is "Why do the British call dessert pudding"?

That's an interesting variation on corn pudding I'm not familiar with.

That's the regional difference between single people who buy their
food premade and people who cook for their family from scratch.

IMO, corn muffins are highly desirable over the insipid breads most
restaurants put on the table back East.

What is "gooey" bread unless not cooked enough?
I like the very soft "dinner rolls."
The Kings Hawaiian bread was way to sweet the first time I tried.
Then last week I bought a small 4-pak and liked them.
This is why I was tempted to buy more but the price was
high. $3.99 and now it up to $4.99.


> Yep, the "Hawaiian" bread I've tasted is incredibly sweet. No thanks!


That was my first-try thought but then I bought a 4-pak and really
liked them. I suspect it depends on what you are eating them with.

And you know that how?
Sounds like you are just stereotyping Southern people.
Do all black people love watermelon and moonpies?

Google doesn't work where you are? The first hit that I got was
