I have made this recipe many times over the years...it is amazing. This is from the original Trader Vic's Recipe book. I compared and it is exactly the same, except it does not say how many hard boiled eggs and black olives. The original recipe has 4 hard boiled eggs and say's 1 can of black olives. Again, an amazing recipe...do it just as it say's...just want to give credit where it is due...Thank you Trader Vic's!

AND that is the end of this. If the phone doesn't ring? It's me.
If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer.
I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story.
