Does anyone actually make this any longer?
I remember in my parents’ day, there would be dinner parties where this was served, and it was a Big Deal.
Now, it’s giving me an idea for this year’s Christmas dinner...
Dinner Parties are soooo 20th century......................When it was great!.................
My parents also had those dinner parties, pretty regularly, when I was a teenager. They were feasts! I can’t imagine anyone in their circle of friends rejecting an invitation. Usually it was several couples who came at a time, maybe 3 or 4 other couples.
My little sister and I acted as wait staff, and removed the dishes when they were finished, and brought out dessert and after dinner drinks (coffee or other adult beverages). After we finished the dishes we were allowed to go to our bedroom and study. Those were the days!
I do think, looking back, that events like those helped shape me into someone who has a joy for cooking for others. It’s a small gift that I can share with others.
