The Oriental

The Oriental

I thought long and hard about this one because the name is a little offensive in these politically charged times, but this is a classic from 1924. The story goes that a man was desperately ill with a fever in the Philippines and a doctor there saved his life. To thank him, the man gifted the doctor this recipe.
