It’s the step-by-step pictures though, that are the fabulous finish to this rather insane dish … :O       The 3 (count em‽) 3 seperate stages and recipes, not including the garnish; contain lashings of cream, butter, milk and sherry plus the optional addition of canned truffles…     But, the question...

Feeling a little Monday-itis? Check out the things people had to make on Monday in 1979 and breathe a sigh of relief that those days are LONG behind us.
