What a great way to remember those snacks your grandma and mom would make for bridge parties.  Wonderful to see these simple, yet delicious snacks for guests on food tv.  I served this to "foodies" alongside cheddar pastry wrapped  green olives, gazpacho cups and chicken, cucumber and watercress finger sandwiches thanks to grandmas recipes.  Guests asked who catered.
