Description:
"This is one of about 10 recipes in this book that I have made at least once or twice a year since first making it. During my catering years, folks love(d) this and always a hit with everyone!"
In one of Jean's comments she had expressed that she wasn't sure where this recipe originally came from. So, I did a bit of research and found that it came from the Romanoff Caviar packaging.
