Herbed Cheese Spread
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon mayonnaise
1 1/2 tsp. curry powder
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard, Colman's preferred
2 green onions, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
3 tablespoons burnet, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chives, finely snipped
Using a mixer, cream the cream cheese. This takes the work out of whipping it. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, curry powder and mustard, mix until combined. By hand, fold in the green onions, dill, burnet and chives. Cover and refrigerate overnight, allowing the flavors to blend and intensify. Refrigerate until ready to use.

BOLOGNA: This large highly seasoned sausage is name for Bologna, Italy. The true Italian sausage from Bologna is actually called Mortadella. Mortadella is the original bologna - a very large smoked sausage (usually pork) from Bologna, Italy, studded with cubes of pork fat, peppercorns and/or pistachios and/or green olives. American bologna (boloney) is a very poor imitation. Mortadella probably dates back to the 15th century, and the original recipes included myrtle, 'mortella' in Italian, hence the name.
