CLASSIC MINCE
ON TOAST TRIANGLES
This is an old Colonial Favourite. It was served as a whole some Tea Time hearty snack or at parties and Soirees in the olden days. It is featured in my recent Recipe book A Collection of Simple Anglo-Indian Recipes, under Chapter IX THE ANGLO-INDIAN SNACK BOX.
THE
ANGLO-INDIAN SNACK BOX is a
collection of simple and easy to follow recipes of tasty snacks, short eats,
nibbles and finger food that were regularly prepared in Anglo-Indian Homes and
also at ‘Parties, Soirees and Elegant Evening Gatherings’ in the olden days
- all innovated and made famous by the
Mog Cooks of yore in the Tea Gardens in the Hills. The
repertoire covers a variety of vegetarian as well as non- vegetarian finger
food and nibbles which include savouries, snacks, tea time treats, etc., that can easily be prepared from ingredients
commonly available at home.
