1 can asparagus (long stems)
1 loaf
1 butter
1 mayonaise
1 salt and pepper
1 good square white bread
Directions
carefully remove asparagas spears from tin, spread on towel to drain
for at least two hours ;(if some are very "fat" split in half.
remove crusts from bread
carefully spread each square with butter, and then spread carefully
and generously with mayonaise.
take a spear and put diagonal on bread - sprinkle generously with S &
P
roll from corner to make a tube. I then cut the tube in half to make
smaller portions - your choice
pile in bowl or on plate, cover with aluminum foil (putting in
Tupperware doesn't seem to have the same effect, who knows why)
Refrigerate for several hours.
Remove from frig at least 1/2 hour before serving.
So - easy right - make it in the morning - and the 1/2 hour out of
frig is while you're driving to the party ... every party I took

The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far back as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. He also tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names such as basil, mint and asafoetida. Later, we find two interesting cookery books which date from the 1300s : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of that time. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an outbreak in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in private libraries. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books were increasing in popularity mostly due to better eduction, more spare time and disposable income. |
