Final Comments


I have to remind Dick that we no longer need both mayonnaise and Stilton. He hates to give up his time-honored traditions of extra fat. [He's the one who butters the bread for his peanut butter sandwiches.]

Pears canned in heavy syrup are acceptable substitutes for fresh pears. Those canned in juice are too insipid for this recipe. Gorgonzola or Maytag blue are good substitutes for the Stilton.

Toasted walnuts are excellent on top.
