It came from an East Indian friend of mine who said it had been in the family. It seems western so I am uncertain of its origins. * Depending on how you want the texture of the cake you can soak the crackers until they are slightly softened or until they fall apart. : Difficulty: easy to moderate. : Time: 30 minutes preparation, several hours chilling. : Precision: approximate measurement OK. : Rob Robson : School of Computer Science, McGill University, Montreal, P.Q., Canada : musocs!mugeneral!rob@eddie.mit.edu : seismo!watmath!watcgl!onfcanim!musocs!mugeneral!rob : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust |
