"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

Personal Notes:
I love this version of the 7 layer salad. I use a clear glass bowl with straight sides to make it in and it shows off the colorful layers. The bowl is quite heavy and one I bought for a dollar at a yard sale. Once filled, it seems to weigh a ton but oh, so pretty. Goes great with BBQ ribs!
