Rumaki from Daniel Parks

"In 1974 and 1975 my wife and I lived in Raleigh while I finished up at North Carolina State University. Part of my junior/senior year curriculum requirement was to obtain an internship in the private sector at a Hospitality or Private Country Club Operation. I had the opportunity to do this at Carolina Country Club on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh. During this time I worked with Chef Bruce Parks, no relation, in the food service operation especially in regards to group food functions. This recipe is a simple basic traditional appetizer served at receptions and cocktail parties. This recipe is outdated by today’s standards but brings back great memories for me. This is best served in a heated chafing dish, as both an elegant and inexpensive hors d ’oeuvres." - Daniel Parks
