Forloren Skilpadde
Danish mock turtle soup. This is a tradional Danish dish. It is a work up to make but well worth the effort. My Mother's Ladies Aux. would prepare this for their annual Bazaar (that's Bazaar, not bizarre) as a fund raising dinner for perhaps 200 people. It was a true group effort with one woman preparing the meat balls another the balls etc. There would be a great deal of interaction I can assure you. Forloren Skilpadde
