The author writes: "This is a dish that Montana organic grain farmer Alice Berner makes to take out to her husband, Bud, and the others when they're working in the fields." The author suggests serving this alongside roast chicken or grilled fish, or just with a green salad.
She also suggests a hearty bread and some lightly chilled Rose de Provence. From "Farm House Cookbook" by Susan Herrmann Loomis. New York: Workman Publishing Company, Inc., 1991. Pg. 262. ISBN 0-89480-772-2. Posted by Cathy Harned.
