My thoughts:

During our recent trip to Louisville, Kentucky nosotros got the risk to motility a lot of regional specalties, beer cheese, bourbon balls, Mint Kentucky Colonels (we toured the tiny factory where the finally ii were invented together with nevertheless made today), together with benedictine. We dearest going to what nosotros telephone phone "ladies who lunch" restaurants-the type of house where the salad plate is tuna salad, chicken salad together with pimento cheese- spell nosotros are on opor-garai inwards the southward together with benedictine is the perfect spread for that kind of place. It is smooth, creamy together with flavored exclusively past times cucumber, onion together with the teenist combat of pepper. It was invented past times Jennie Benedict, a caterer together with eating seat possessor inwards Lousiville, together with originally exactly used the juice from cucumber, non the actual flesh! We tried a few versions of the spread spell nosotros were inwards town together with our favorite was at The Cafe* where they turned it into basically a benedictine BLT. I was excited to come upwards abode together with brand my ain version which my married adult man swears is ameliorate than whatever nosotros had inwards Kentucky! It isn't the well-nigh attractive sandwich together with a combat messy but it is i worth making.
