About
This recipe was in my grandmother, Mary B. Sargent's, personal recipe diary, which she kept from 1960-1990. I think my step-grandfather, Clyde Sargent, created this one based on a note at the bottom: "Clyde made this one up in 1960." The original version calls for leftovers from the "mock venison" recipe in the "Joy of Cooking," however, I couldn't find that recipe in any recent versions of the book. If anyone has it, I would love to know what it contains.
