Made this spread for Christmas eve snacks. I thought it was quite good, lots of flavour. It might be a "grow on ya" flavour cus guests tried it but did not go back to it It is quite a strong flavour, they did say they like it but they did not eat it. thanks for posting it, it was something new to try!
