We hope you enjoyed the Rock theme last week! This week for something entirely different, this week the theme is Hawaii. Since it is still winter here in Norway, being able to dream my way to the warmer parts of the world keeps me going through the cold winter nights. I´ll hope you´ll enjoy this theme!
Last week we introduced the new gifting system, we have had a lot of feedback about it – I thank you all sincerely for all the feedback we have received! All in all we do know that you are enjoying sending free gifts to your friends! This week there are some updates to this gifting mechanic, the updates are only that there are new items, but there is a twist! So, you can still send 4 different employee foods (these have not changed), you can send 8 Rock Theme items, however there are only 4 of them that are randomly displayed so if your friend wants a special something, you need to check out what you can send every day! You can now also gift 4 different ingredients, the ingredients you can now send to your friends are these:
As you can see, there are two new ingredients this week, the Pineapple and the Coconut! Don´t know what these ingredients are used for? Read on, there are two new dishes as well this week! In addition to these two new ingredients, there are also St. Patrick´s Day items that are exclusive to the gift-sending-feature! Don´t you know what St. Patrick´s Day is? Then take a read of this wikipedia article.
Saint Patrick’s Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig) colloquially St. Paddy’s Day or simply Paddy’s Day, is an annual feast day that celebrates Saint Patrick (circa AD 385–461), the most commonly recognised of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on 17 March.
The day is a national holiday of Ireland: it is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland. It is also a public holiday in Montserrat. In Poland, Canada, United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland), Australia, the United States and New Zealand, it is widely celebrated but is not an official holiday.

By the way, did you know that the Hawai´ian pizza is the most popular pizza in Australia? At least according to this wikipedia article:
Hawai’ian pizza is a pizza that usually consists of a cheese and tomato base with pieces of ham, onions, and pineapple. Some versions include bacon, shrimp, green pepper, mushrooms and/or jalapenos, but the version with ham and pineapple only is the most common. It is the most popular pizza in Australia, accounting for 15% of pizza sales.
Despite its name, Hawai’ian pizza is not a Hawai’ian invention. In Italy, “Hawaiian” pizza is considered to be a German invention (or a German modification of Italian cuisine), similar to the Toast Hawaii. A Canadian restaurant owner named Sam Panopoulos claims to have first come up with the idea of placing pineapples and ham on a regular pizza in 1960 at the Family Circle Restaurant in Chatham, Ontario, Canada.
