PIPIKAULA | pee-pee-cow-lah | was a favorite snack among
paniolo (Hawaiian cowboys). It is often compared to beef
jerky, but ours is a bit different—seasoned, dried and thengrilled.

the cow’s stomach, ours has a thin, tomato soup base. If you
like a thicker consistency, try our Humbug, which adds someof our beef stew gravy.
