"This comes from the 'Moveable Feasts Cookbook' published by Mystic Seaport (CT) Museum Stores. It's featured in the 'Superbowl Splash' section. I generally substitute plain yogurt for part of the mayo and use an equivalent amount of (imitation) bacon bits instead of real bacon. It's the crunch that counts here."
