"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
I never did know how to spell the name of this salad, Grandma Deva called it White Moose, Grandpa Emmette called it Moekas. From the first Thanksgiving I shared with them, this dish was on the table. It was reserved for Holiday Dinners. I don’t remember it any other time of the year. Grandma Deva was a simple cook. Very good, plain, but comforting.This was a fancy dish for her. She really didn’t have a written recipe and I don’t make it often. It was always her dish.
