traditional French-Canadian meatloaf that my grandmother

gizzards!” To this I replied, “Nope, that would have been
OFFAL!” No one understood my pun, but I was quite

made from the thymus or pancreas of a piglet or calf. They
they have nothing to do with shortbread. I have tried gizzards in a
fancy restaurant and I found them quite good. i had to try

traditional Scottish cookie made from butter, sugar and
flour. Our Vermont Shortbread Company version contains
lots of butter, giving it a slightly chewy texture. we fill our
butter cookies with jam fillings (raspberry or strawberry),
chocolate, lemon curd, walnut, cinnamon, almond, or leave it
simple without filling (traditional ice cream). I’ve seen
shortbread in many forms – a large round “cake” (we call it a
gift box in VSC) baked in a mold that gives it a nice design
with slotted triangular wedges called petticoat tails, small
round cookies or “fingers” (long rectangular pieces). In
Vermont Shortbread Company, we make a shortie that is
a 4″ round shortbread baked in a tart pan.

modern and simple dessert that has become a
Christmas favorite for many people, high and low. Enjoy
