Devils on Horseback
There are two versions of this party piece. One has oysters wrapped in bacon before being cooked, while the other has prunes instead of oysters. The prunes are sometimes cooked in wine, their stuffed with mango chutney or an almond. The addition of hot Tabasco sauce turns Angels of Horseback into little devils. |

Sacher Squares
The original Sacher Torte was a two-layered dense chocolate cake separated by apricot spread and covered with smooth chocolate. Created by Franz Sacher, chief pastrycook to the Austrian statesman Metternich during the Congress of Vienna (1814 - 15), the cake was later the subject of a protracted argument between some of Sacher's descendants and Vienna's famous Demel patisserie as to whether in its true form it had two layers or was just a cake spread with spread and iced. |
