Tall Tales / Re: April 1, Fooling around making the coffee & toast
« Last post by Mogorilla on Today at 06:42:25 AM »In the 80s, jalapeno poppers at restaurants were jalapenos stuffed with a mix of onion, cream cheese and cheddar. They had been roasted to peel them, so they could be breaded and fried. My father loved them. He hated roasting and peeling the peppers and most of our homegrown ones seemed to not do well as they were thinner walled than what restaurants used. During this time, I was in college, drinking more than I should and being creative for cheap food. We "invented" peanut butter wontons because for some reason we had the wrappers in the house. They were and are delicious. I mentioned our invention to my father and he made what he called pepper raccoons as opposed to crab rangoon. It is a wanton stuffed with jalapeno, cream cheese, scallions and some cheddar. My lord they are tasty. If you miss the 80s jalapeno poppers, try these.
