I made the Polynesian salad from 101 Ways to Eat it with Coon Cheese. 

What can I say?  

It was a 1970s curried rice salad with some rather delicious Australian tiger prawns.  And pineapple.  And cherry tomatoes instead of red capsicum.  Unfortunately the cheese, in my view, was not necessary, it added nothing except a boost to Kraft sales.  The salad was better without it.  As a matter of interest I used a whole green capsicum and a quantity, maybe two handsful, of tomatoes which was more than the recipe called for and it was an improvement I think, Ann.
