We upsized this traditional Latin dish to 50 for our own
wedding brunch (way back when) and we still get recipe
requests from our guests after all these years. <g> We
prepared the dish as a make ahead in chafing dishes and had
plenty of time to mingle. Bloody Marys and Mimosas are a
natural with this one.
