A recipe my mother and grandmother used to make when I was younger. Evertime I went to a party or a dinner when I was younger this seemed to be on the table. It seemed to be something everyone made years ago. Mind you I never quite liked it, but years later when my kids went to their grandmothers MIL, she made it for them, and from then on they would always ask her to make this for them when the went. They loved it and still do! My MIL always added corn and carrots or whatever vegetables she had on hand when she made it
