TOMATO SURPRISE According to the book Fashionable Foods, the food "item" of the 1930s was...marshmallows! Marshmallows and a 1920s favorite, Jello, were incorporated into everything, including dinner menus. Perhaps this then, was why Jeff said the Tomato Surprise was mystifying... Cut out stem of medium-size tomato, cut a small hole in top and scoop out the seeds with a melon baller. Finely chop four to five full sized marshmallows. Cut cherry-flavored Jello into small cubes. Mix Jello and marshmallows, stuff tomato with mixture. Surprise! Okay, here's a more legit recipe... 6 tomatoes 1/4 cup diced cucumber 1/2 cup diced cooked chicken 1/4 cup chopped nuts 1/4 cup mayonnaise dressing Lettuce Garnish of walnut meats Select medium-sized, smooth tomatoes. Scald and remove the skins. Chill. Carefully scoop the inside out of the tomatoes. Remove the seeds from the pulp. Chill all ingredients, and when ready to serve, mix the chicken, cucumber, tomato pulp, and nuts with the mayonnaise dressing. Add more salt if needed. Fill the tomatoes. Arrange on lettuce leaves. Garnish with mayonnaise and decorate each tomato top with a slice of truffle or with halves of shelled nuts.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons because, to them, you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup. ~*~Angelique~*~ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
