It never ceases to amaze me that people just can’t pick up a package of whatever product and read where it is manufactured. Is it really that difficult to figure out? 🤔
“Sweatbread” has, since the 16th century, been the culinary name for the pancreas of a cow or sheep. (Read all about it in Wikipedia). It is a very different food from the made-in-Hawaii bread with a sweet taste and texture – which was created in the 1950’s and originally called “King’s Hawaiian Street Bread”.
I think I must be one of the few people who really dislike Nutella on its own or with anything else. I like chocolate and I like most Italian dishes and most of the wonderful choice we have in Hawaii but the mix of Hazelnuts and ChocolateNutella is not for me. I love Hawaiian Bread with its sweetness and would never spoil it with Nutella. With soup or stews yes, as Bruschetta even yes, if I need comfort food warm bread with ice cold unsalted butter and some lilikoi preserve. Never Nutella! Never mind it is mainly Sugar and Palm Oil…
Most of the iconic items they are claiming are from other countries… callfornia/San Fran sourdough. was imported by immigrants from Italy, and especially the Basque sheep herders that immigrated. Bakersfield, CA is world famous for its Perinies Sourdough. and Woolgrowers restaurant from these immigrants.
Sad that corporations ignore the actual facts just to slap some marketing together to sell more products….
im sure the Jewish community has something to say about New York begals?!?!
It is interesting exactly where many things originated, it’s typically a foregone conclusion, wrongly, that the origin was from here or there. Only if someone was truly bored and searching specifics would they uncover the truth. I’ve been surprised several times in the past.
It’s only marketed in Hawaii. Locals know there are other sweetbread companies, some very local, to purchase. It’s probably cheaper, too. It does sound good, though!
Ok, you got me with the title. Love. It. I like the Nutella, Hawaiian sweet bread concept. Not everything has to be a lawsuit or insult our sensibilities. Let’s have a little fun every so often! And, plus we love Kauai!

Every Walmart that I have shopped across multiple States have had Kings Hawaiian Rolls and at least 1 competitors.

Much ado about nothing imo.
