A Hawaiian haystack (also known as a "chicken sundae" or "snow on the mountain") is a type of haystack. It is not Hawaiian. It is a convenience cuisine dish composed of a rice base and several toppings. It is prepared by topping rice with toppings such as chicken, chicken gravy, diced pineapple, diced tomatoes, Chinese noodles, cheese, celery, and coconut.[1] Traditionally, each topping is prepared in its own dish and presented buffet-style, then added on top of the rice as desired.

It is popular in the Western United States both as a school lunch and as a quick meal for family dinners.[citation needed]
Etymology
[edit]The dish did not originate in Hawaii, but derives its name from the Hawaiian character of staple ingredients such as coconut.[1]
