My thoughts:
During our recent trip to Louisville, Kentucky we got the opportunity to motion a lot of regional specalties, beer cheese, bourbon balls, Mint Kentucky Colonels (we toured the tiny factory where the in conclusion ii were invented together with silent made today), together with benedictine. We dearest going to what we telephone telephone "ladies who lunch" restaurants-the type of menage where the salad plate is tuna salad, chicken salad together with pimento cheese- spell we are on holiday inwards the southward together with benedictine is the perfect spread for that sort of place. It is smooth, creamy together with flavored alone by times cucumber, onion together with the teenist fighting of pepper. It was invented by times Jennie Benedict, a caterer together with eating spot owner inwards Lousiville, together with originally just used the juice from cucumber, not the actual flesh! We tried a few versions of the spread spell we were inwards town together with our favorite was at The Cafe* where they turned it into basically a benedictine BLT. I was excited to come upwards upwards identify together with construct my ain version which my married adult homo swears is amend than any we had inwards Kentucky! It isn't the well-nigh attractive sandwich together with a fighting messy simply it is i worth making.*If you lot lot ever are inwards town, acquire inwards that location together with acquire a giant spell of tuxedo cake to share.
