Hello Sharon,
These come in lots of varieties according to the type of meat that's in them
There are a few, but very few, that contain no meat at all. Most recipes
contain sausage, butr there are some with chopped ham, some with ground beef
or ground pork, some with canned corned beef, and some with dried beef. See
below for a sampling of recipes.

Can you send the recipe for "Nipples of Venus" pudding. - thanks
Hello Shawn,
I am not aware of a pudding named "Nipples of Venus". The only food with
that name that I am aware of is chocolate covered brandied chestnuts.
See below.

Phaed
Capezzoli di Venere (Nipples of Venus)
SALIERI Cappezzoli di Venere. Nipples of Venus. Roman chestnuts in brandied
sugar.
This is from an Italian cookbook and the author says: "These heavenly
truffles are a little time-consuming but repay the effort.
With fresh chestnuts, the truffles are richer-tasting than with canned. For
variety, add finely chopped toasted almonds or freshly
grated nutmeg to the truffle mixture."
Ingredients
6 oz. bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate
16 oz. can whole chestnuts, or 1 1/4 pound fresh
6 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
2 1/2 Tablespoons brandy or other liqueur
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the chocolate coating ingredients:
14 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
1 to 1 1/2 cups pure cocoa powder
Method
To prepare centers, melt chocolate in a double boiler and allow to cool. If
using fresh chestnuts, cut a cross on the flat side of each shell, put in a
large pan, cover with cold water, and boil for 5 minutes. Remove the shells
and inner skins. Rice the chestnuts. Cream the butter and sugar together
until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add chestnuts and flavorings to the
butter/sugar mixture and blend well, then stir in the cooled chocolate. Mix
well. Roll into balls 1-1/2 inches in diameter; if mixture becomes too soft
to shape, chill for several minutes.
To coat, melt the chocolate on a plate over boiling water; let cool.
Carefully roll the truffles in melted chocolate, then place on a plate of
cocoa powder and allow to dry for several minutes. Dust each truffle with
cocoa and place in paper candy cup. Store in refrigerator.
Yield: 5 dozen truffles

Hello Heidi,
See below for a creamed chicken recipe.
As for the fat. we've always let the pot cool, even put it in the fridge,
then skimmed off the fat with a spoon or a cup.
However, there's a new gadget called a "fat mop" and another called a "fat
mat" that lets you skim it off as the chicken cooks.
See:
Fat Mop

3/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. white pepper
2 c. cooked chicken cut in bite size pieces
2 tbsp. dry sherry (optional)

Saute mushrooms in butter in the top of a double boiler directly
