[Sca-cooks] Kiri's feast

[Elaine Koogler]

To be honest, I did not. The results of my initial effort, using the 
breadcrumbs, was very dense...so much so, in fact, that we were able to 
press the resulting mixture into molds, then turn the molded mixture out 
onto a sheet of waxed paper. I don't believe making it denser would have 
made it any better...in fact, it probably would have ben a little too 
dry. But yes, I did use dry breadcrumbs. Again, given that I was making 
it in large quantities, we used commercially prepared breadcrumbs. The 
description in the original recipe seemed to produce something very 
similar to those.
