Comments:
This batch would probably last a while, probably until you were broke of eating it. I can't recall ever having been served this concoction, but I'll bet it's a zesty garnishment for what would otherwise be common chopped lettuce leaves.

The recipe had in its card title the name, Sendbergh. If you try it and don't like it, give credit for it to Sendbergh descendants wherever you find them. If you do like it. Grandma Rogers gets the credit, because her good taste and recording skills preserved the recipe for posterity.
