The Da Lima Code

Cardinal Vermicelli al Dente warns readers about The Da Lima Code, a volume filled with heretical claims about the Portuguese malasada in a foreword to the newly reprinted Frank DeLima’s Joke Book, now with full color illustrations.

With an ancestry that includes Portuguese, Hawaiian, Irish, Chinese, English, Spanish and Scottish, and a long career celebrating Hawaiʻi’s ethnic diversity, DeLima is eminently qualified to present this collection of jokes told to him by fans over the years.
