$4 donuts (each)

 This is not my first mention of taro and the role of taro in Hawaiian culture. I encountered a new use of taro yesterday. I assume it involves the use of taro flower. We discovered the Holy Grail Donuts. We had visited the establishment previously, but had been looking for coffee and must not have read the menu carefully.

Holy Grail sells $4 donuts. Do these donuts justify the cost? I guess this depends on what you are looking for. The donuts are made while you wait and I think part of the experience is the value of a hot donut. If you don't agree, I encourage you to taste the difference between a warm and a cold Krispy Kreme. Holy Grail also subscribes to the Apple approach to packaging. If you purchase a four pack (4 for the cost of 3), you get a nice box with a decal. Wasteful, but pretty. The following images contain a description of the four donut options which are part of the foodie approach. You should be able to read the descriptions if you click on the menu image to enlarge. It is kind of like a high end restaurant experience with multiple courses that in this case you experience on a picnic table.
