Asparagus Rolls Recipe

Who Says Food From the 1960's Isn't Popular?

My food related memories of the '60s also include cocktail parties, where my parents and their friends consumed mysterious drink concoctions with enticing names like "Manhattan" or "Rob Roy."

I loved these parties because I could sneak in unnoticed and help myself to "pigs in a blanket" or some other form of cocktail frank, deviled eggs, spinach balls, onion dip, stuffed mushrooms and two of my favorites that I still serve my baby boomer friends: Asparagus Rolls and Mini-Reubens.
