My Grandpa and grandma would always have shaved and toasted coconut chips. I loved them - but as I think of them now they probably would not rate very high on the healthy food scale; they were crispy, greasy, salty, and Oh so delicious...
They came in a can similar to the Pic-Nic brand canned shoestring potatoes so many people use on that hideous "green bean & shoestring" cassarole pot luck dish that shows up at every church dinner.
What a great thrill to open that lid and smell the wonderful aroma of those crispy coconut treats.
Can they still be purchased? Does anyone have a recipe for making them?
