Entremet Originally shared by Kam-Yung Soh "“Like most people in the US, I grew up knowing the words to this carol and even (shudder) singing them occasionally (singing is not a strong point of mine), but never really thought about what they meant, how the carol originated, or what birds were involved”, says Dr Rasmussen in email. So she decided to figure it out. Dr Rasmussen, who’s tied for third for the most bird discoveries in the world, is probably also the world’s foremost avian sleuth, due to her meticulous detective work a few years ago that uncovered the many ornithological thefts and records frauds in museums that were committed by eminent British ornithologist, Richard Meinertzhagen. But who would ever have thought that an old Christmas carol might also hold an avian mystery? “After all, it’s just a Christmas carol!” Dr Rasmussen points out." https://medium.com/@GrrlScientist/meet-the-real-birds-of-the-twelve-days-of-christmas-fame-grrlscientist-5a8bc09350c9
It'll do, for a start.
ReplyDeleteBut really, this is one of those things that you just fiddle with it until it tastes good to you.
And a well liked local diner does this one:
ReplyDelete5 pounds shredded sharp yellow cheddar cheese
2 pounds shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
2-3 cups of Duke's Mayo (or enough to make it "nice and wet")
3 large jars of chopped pimientos
10-12 fresh chopped, seeded jalapeños
Salt, pepper and ground Cayenne pepper to taste.
Directions: Put all ingredients in a big bowl and mix together with gloved hands. Taste, adjust seasonings and serve!
Palmetto Cheese is the only store bought I've ever liked:
