Here is a collection of recipes that reflect the tastes and style of the Brothers family. You'll find such exciting dishes as Bacchus Bites, Rat Onna Stick, Fried Dr. Pepper, Graveyard Stew, and the Stewed Monkey Heads that became the name of this collection. Family members from around the world gave up treasured recipes to include here and span the centuries all the way back to Grossmutter in 18th C. Germany. This is a collection of family favorites, not a special diet or even a compilation of all our cooking lore. Between these covers are the recipes that appear in the Brothers family feasts, on the holiday table, after school snacks, party nibbles, pot-luck favorites to take and share, and every day foods. To all the Brothers out there - may you spatter these pages as you cook up the meals we love as we've spattered up the index cards, spiral notebooks, restaurant napkins, and letters from which they were collected. Good eating to you all!
