2024 Edible Holiday Gifts – Part 2
Omiyage is a Japanese tradition that has been adopted into modern local Hawaii culture. It is the act of bringing back gifts from your travels for friends, relatives, and co-workers. When traveling to the mainland, local Hawaii residents will bringing back items from stores not found in the islands. A popular place to shop for omiyage gifts is Trader Joe’s.
Inspiration
On a recent trip, a co-worker returned with Trader Joe’s Olive & Herbs Mixed Nuts – a savory mix of mixed nuts and dehydrated olives. It’s a really delicious mix, different from most trail mixes. I was fascinated with the olives but haven’t quite perfected the method for dehydrating them, but I’m working on it. For now, I have these herb mixed nuts to satisfy the snack attack monster inside of me.
Gift giving
The intent, at this time of the year, is to package the nuts in little cellophane bags, tied with festive ribbon and a fresh sprig of rosemary as a lovely little gift. How many nuts actually make it as gifts? I will never tell …
Happy holidays!
