Thanks for the Tips
Written by: Cheri Sicard16 February 2009 |
| Thanks for the recipe notes Brian. Out of all the recipes in this book (Retro Food Fiascos), this one actually looked the most appetizing to me, so I wanted to include it in our coverage on the site, and the publisher graciously gave permission. Edible or not the book was really fun to look through. I also included a recipe on the other extreme -- the Crown Roast of Weiners. That recipe left me rolling on the floor laughing http://www.fabulousfoods.com/recipes/article/125/19350 |

Party Sandwich Loaf from "Retro Food Fiascos"
Written by: Brian14 February 2009 |
| I actually tried making this. My recommendation: at least half the amount of lemon juice to one tablespoon, as the shrimp portion was quite "weepy" and left the bread soggy. You might even try only a teaspoon of lemon juice. Also, I recommend using whipped cream cheese and not thinning it, ratherh than thinning regular cream cheese with cream, as I found the cream cheese frosting tended to "weep" like the shrimp filling did. If you do use regular cream cheese and cream, use MUCH less cream than recommended. It was an unusual receipe, and not all that great... but fun to try! |
