This is from a really old recipe card that managed to find it’s way into my possession; and I haven’t had the chance to try it yet, but it looks and sounds really good. It’s supposed to be from the Colony Restaurant in New York.

I actually received a large box of these recipe cards when my grandmother passed away a few years ago. I glanced at a few of them, but maybe I need to go back and actually sort them. I am always at a loss and end up making the same thing again and again.
Thanks for the blog post!
Thank you sooo much for this recipe, I think I’ve seen you somewhere. Anyways nice site. Though It was a tad difficult to get Grand Marineir around where I live.
