One of the favored cold mushroom dishes of all time. It was a standard Saturday evening appearance at Rollande et Pierre relish tray. Remember those? A real relish tray served as soon as you sat down at the table, something you rarely see any more... More

I remember those, so good too... this recipe really sounds fantastic!


You mean restaurants used to serve something more substantial than a breadbasket when you were seated??? Yep, I remember one "upscale" restaurant in the small town area I grew up in - relish tray to start, seafood augratin for app, crab louis for salad, a tasty entree, and polished off with a fancy stemmed glass filled with vanilla ice cream that had been mixed with a liqueur - MAN, those were the DAYS!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane...


A garnish tray just as you sat down? Without even having to order from the dinner menu?? Even if I could remember this, I've never been able to afford a restaurant that fancy. But thanks for the sweet mental image, and the recipe.
