Recipe Introduction
Maybe a big fashion trend, but sailors discovered them first - because they were
so practical. Bell bottom pants were easy to roll up and keep dry when swabbing
the deck on the ships. They were also fast and easy to pull off if you fell overboard
and needed to swim. Who would have guessed these pants would become such a craze
in the 60's and be the hot item for men, women and kids!
