This popular Southern dish is often served with a dipping sauce and enjoyed as an appetizer or side dish.

Shave ice is made by shaving a block of ice into fine, fluffy snow-like texture and then flavored with various syrups. The "rainbow" flavor refers to the practice of adding multiple syrup flavors to create a vibrant and multi-colored treat. This makes shave ice a popular choice among fair-goers looking for a delicious and visually appealing snack to cool down with.
