We grew up enjoying this appetizer as it became popular in the 70's. Mom and Dad enjoyed having friends over for cocktail parties. My brothers and I would make an appearance at some point to smile and wave - and once in a while put on a little skit. After that, it was into our jammies and off to bed. But the food was always plentiful and "classic"!
