May my Mothers recipe for Porcupine Balls go with her to the grave

My roomie's late mother made the best deviled eggs, ever. The recipe died with her, dammit.

Not to mention the lady on my Dad's mail route who gave him jars of the best bread and butter pickles she canned every year. Mine have never been quite as good.

I had never heard of such a thing until I married Gary and now I must agree with you! I absolutely refuse to make them for him, he can go visit his Mom if he really wants them!

Good lord, MS- at least seven of those culinary perversions were on my mom's list as well. Was your mom from Nebraska? I might have to get around to posting some of my In-Law's recipes- they are Danish/Scottish/Swedish, and not too terribly discriminating when it comes to defining what's edible.
