Hi,
Looking for a BBQue that used to come in a can. All of my family and
friends used to eat it. It was called Ireland's Real Pit Barbeque.
I am dying for that taste again. Could you help? I would be eternally
grateful. Thank you for your help.
Janet
Hi Janet,
I had no success with a recipe for Ireland's Pit BBQ. I'm afraid they went
out of business too many years ago. There's a nostalgia message board about it here:

Subject: Mimi's Cafe Blue Cheese Fritters
I would like a recipe for the style blue cheese fritters served at Mimi's Café
in Southern California. They are small, smaller than a ping pong ball and they
were a crispy shell with warm blue cheese inside. Not floury at all on the inside.
Thank you.
Barbara
Hi Barbara,
I had no success searching for a recipe or copycat for Mimi's fritters, and
I cannot search by a description of how something looks. Sorry.
I did find a recipe for "Cafe Blue Cheese Fritters" at this site:
Cafe Blue Cheese Fritters
Might be worth a try.

Subject: Sunshine cake
My grandmother made a cake that she called Sunshine Cake. Unfortunately
when she died we never found the recipe in her recipe file. As I remember
the cake was a marbled sponge and angel food cake. I have tried to locate a
recipe for a cake similar to this but the marbled cakes I have found are the
traditional chocolate/vanilla or ones made with plain yellow and white cake mix.
Thanks for your help.
Donna
Hello Donna,
There are dozens of "sunshine cake" recipes, and dozens of "marble cake" recipes,
but I did not find one that matches your description. Sorry.

Subject: Date Nut Pudding
Dear Phaedrus,
The recipe called for dates and baking soda covered with boiling water.
Cream butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and flour. Combine with dates and pour
into floured baking pan. After baking, I poured a syrup: water, sugar and
lemon extract over the 'cake'. Please help me find this old family recipe.
