Smoked meat.  Shaved ice.  I suppose "Americans" don't have any
room to talk, given how many of them refer to "ice tea".

The reason that I don't say "shaved ice" etc., is that would be
incorrect. You guys are free to call it anything you want - I'm not. You
can even call it a sno-cone. That makes me laugh.

Pray tell how is shave ice, which is what it is called in Hawaii,
grammatically different from ice cream? Why is icing called icing? It is
not ice, nor does frosting involved ice.  Let's keep things in
perspective since it is coming from the land where beef is often served
redundantly with au jus.

In Hawaii, we like to say "iced cream." Language itself is a pretty
random thing but most people don't seem to realize that. One has to
learn the rules about usage or look like a local yokel.
