Hmmm. If you really want to know... I assume they could be boiled and 
refrigerated for at least a couple of days, probably frozen, too, then 
thawed and grilled for service. The last time we made them there was 
some problem (I forget exactly what) which made it necessary to drop 
them, from a raw state, into deep-frying oil, making them more like 
rysschews closed. Those would probably last several hours at room temp 
(or per local sanitation/health department regs, whichever comes 
first), unless certain New Jersey dukes come upon them first.

How about some of the Markham or Digby meat pies, the ones that are 
essentially pates en croute, with butter poured into them and chilled 
to set? Those keep quite a while and are good cold. I believe Platina 
has several good salads that are more wintry, but perfectly good cold, 
like the roasted onion or carrot salad. (In addition to the more 
obvious green stuff.)

Ada... uh... Mario Nebbits
