When I was a child, my father being a soldier, we lived in Germany, and my mother found the Sandwich Spread Heinz57 at PX. It was so good.
ReplyDeleteBack in Belgium, and because there was some ease of access to thePX, there was still some. Then, finished.
I am so happy to have found the recipe to be able to do it myself, and make my grandchildren discover it.
