This recipe comes from the Bobby Mcgee's Conglomeration restaurant that was in the north-Houston area in the early 1970s ( think dance floor with disco ball!!). Sadly, the restaurant is no longer there, tho I think it still exists in other areas,but the owner/chef was kind enough to give this recipe to a local church for use in their cookbook.
