Mystery Thread

A "receipt" for something served in the Japanese/-American internment camps back in WWII, featuring George Takei (y'all might recognize him from Star Trek as Mr. Sulu, but he's been in other shows/performances, as well):

It's not low-carb (pasta, bread crumbs, rice and tinned fruit at the very least.)

This was posted on my LiveJournal feed:
½ cup sharp blue cheese (like Maytag) at room temperature
3 T. unsalted butter at room temperature
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ t. pepper
¼ t. kosher salt
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
3 T. cream cheese at room temperature
3 T. chutney
½ cup walnut halves, toasted for garnishing
36 parsley leaves for garnishing.

Combine the blue cheese and butter into a food processor; process until creamy. Mix flour, cornstarch, pepper and salt together in a small bowl; add to the blue cheese mixture. Pulse to combine. Add the chopped walnuts and process just until incorporated. Do not over process. Remove the blue cheese mixture from the food processor bowl and shape into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least one hour.

Preheat the oven to 325F.

Place the chilled dough on a piece of plastic wrap and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Roll the dough out to about 1/8 of an inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap and cut into 1-inch circles using a fluted cookie cutter. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the dough is used. Bake until light brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool.

To assemble: Spread ¼ t of cream cheese on each shortbread. Top with an equal amount of chutney, a walnut half and a parsley leave.

The shortbread came be prepared up to 3 days in advance. Assemble one hour before serving.

Yield about 36 shortbread crackers.

I never would have thought to put blue cheese in a cookie recipe!!
I'm not a fan of blue cheese myself, but I have a friend -- he and his wife eat blue cheese dressing on next door to EVERYTHING they eat!! o_O
 
Here are five more "receipts" from one of my "go to" YouTube channels:

The fact that they require one pot, there's less clean up.

Some of us might remember this "receipt" if y'all went to public school in the United/"United" States back in the 1980s and/or 1990s and ate the school lunches:

In case it's taken down, the "receipt" is for the cheese pizza that was served back then
