There is the homemade fruitcake, the dish that Aunt Esther makes-you know, the one made from deer blood and sweetbreads- Uncle Frank's bathtub gin and that "Old World Recipe" that Cousin Estele whips up because, "The holidays aren't the holidays unless you have pickled skunk feet in a cream cheese and yougurt sauce!".

You have seen it before, that pot luck dish with one spoonful taken out of it after a whole evening of feasting, the stuff you ate on a dare from your sibs....The dish, that you tell the person who brought it, "I can't possibly fit this into the fridge!" Just so you don't have to toss it out the next day...

What is the dish that shows up on, around your table every holiday/special occasion??

Mine???

Those pearl onions in cream! Ewwwwwwww! I get queasy thinking about them!!!!
