Look closely, even the bottle opener is labeled.
I remember when "generic" products were first marketed -- they looked just like this. Great joke!
Back to the main point here, I made lots of tropical themed food. The best was coconut shrimp with apricot salsa.
The Coconut Shrimp were so easy, you almost don't need a recipe. I had about a pound of 31-40 count shrimp (turns out I had 38) -- two per skewer, dredge in flour, then egg, then roll in coconut. Fry until done.
The Apricot Salsa came from a recipe in the newspaper, which I can't link to. My proportions turned out a little different, so here's my version (You can find other versions all over the internet.) Mix all this together and let sit about an hour. It was best the same day -- by the next day the leftovers were mushy.
Apricot Salsa
1 lb. apricots, pitted and diced
1/2 of a red onion, diced (about 3/4 cup)
1 tablespoon jalapeno pepper, minced
juice of half a lemon
1/4 c. cilantro, chopped (a handful?)
1 avocado, diced
salt and pepper to taste

I haven't had shrimp in ages. That looks so good that my mouth is watering
That shrimp looks divine! I'm trying that recipe this weekend.
You got my tummy growling!
So my friends have a dinner club where every month they pick a new theme and make a six-course meal.
And this month? The theme is "Island," and these recipes would be fantastic.
Last month, the theme was "Spanish." Isn't that cool?
I lost count of how many times I cried watching the finale of LOST.
