"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Fern was the wife of the late Ray Hollenshead & the daughter-in-law of the late Charlie & Carrie (Wade) Hollenshead. This "Hollenshead Family Classic" is from the pages of the family cookbook, "Legacy of the Hollensheads". It was included in this book by the Editor in memory of his Aunt Fern. This was one of the all-time favorites of the Editor when he was growing up.
