I snorted a line of chilli last weekend. Not sure if that makes me a pro chilli guy or just a moron. Probably the latter.
 
Dinner was at Maui Brewing Company so even though I hate beer, I had to have one. Opted for their Pineapple Mana and The Butcher pizza.

And IBU of 18 is still too bitter for my broken taste buds.

This is why I go for fruity beers. According to untappd.com Maui's Shave Weisse is only 7 IBU but it's 3.8% alcohol by volume so may be a little lite for your taste.

That one wasn't on the menu. The only ones that were lower than the Pineapple Mana was a tea that didn't have a rating and a mango something or other that was a 10, I think. But I like pineapple more than mango so I took the hit.

I can't even imagine how sucked in my entire face would have been with the one that was a 70.
 
Funny how the world is.

Malassadas were actually brought to Hawaii by Portuguese from Madeira island (my hometown) and Azores as well, I believe.

My nanny used to cook them all the time for me (especially around this time of the year - Carnaval). We would eat them dripping with sugarcane honey:




However, what you're showing in your photo, @TB, looks a lot more like a Bola de Berlim, which is the Portuguese version of the berliner. It even appears to have the traditional egg yolk-based cream inside, from the Portuguese variant. (I've just noticed yours is coconut cream)




Interestingly, a quick search shows that the malasada from Hawaii is, indeed, more closely related to the Bola de Berlim than it is to the original malassada.


Anyway, I miss eating a malassada so much now, with a lot of sugarcane honey... It is probably close to 35 years since I ate one.
