  1. Egg and Bacon Spread

    March 14, 2008 by Tarrant Figlio

    Have an excess of hard boiled eggs? Tired of deviled eggs? Just want a retro appetizer that has bacon?

    This recipe from Miss Rita Burnley and contributed to Atlanta Cooks for Company should do the trick. The recipe calls for quite a bit of mayo and salt. I would suggest doing what I do and adding it slowly to taste. You may also want to add some nice shredded cheddar (or processed cheese, depending on the retro mood you are in)

    Egg and Bacon Spread

    16 hard-cooked eggs, minced
    12 slices crisp bacon, crumbled
    4 teaspoons horseradish
    4 teaspoons onion, minced
    4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
    1 cup mayonnaise
    4 teaspoons salt

    Combine all ingredients and chill until serving time. Serve with a choice of crackers, etc.

  2. Cigarettes

    January 29, 2008 by Tarrant Figlio

    Yes, that is right a retro food recipe for cigarettes. Not candy cigarettes or even how to roll your own retro smokes-but an appetizer recipe perfect for your Super Bowl or other party. You won’t even need to tell your guests to take them outside! Those folks in 1960 were quite the partiers!

    Cigarettes

    In small bowl of an electric mixer, beat 8 ounces cream cheese with 1 tablespoon dried tarragon until creamy. Cut 8 slices of prosciutto in half crosswise, or use 16 slices chipped beef. With a spatula spread cream cheese evenly on prosciutto or beef, roll up, and chill for one hour. Cut rolls in half, and dip one end of each “cigarette” in very soft butter, then in finely minced truffle. Arrange on a small rectangular serving dish with bouquets of parsley.

    8 ounces cream cheese
    1 tablespoon dried tarragon
    8 slices prosciutto or 16 slices chipped beef
    4 tablespoon soft butter
    2 truffles
    Parsley
