Subject: ny school cafeteria in the 70's "beefaroni"
It was the best! It was like elbow noodles with meat and sauce and no matter
how I try I cannot replicate it! Please help! Served in Westchester ny at
Byram Hills School district cafeterias! Thanks!!!

to find the beefaroni I requested - you come across someone from our Byram Hills
Schools cafeteria. and can inquire as to their peanut butter squares served on
pizza day at the elementary schools - omggg id be forever grateful!!! Thanks!

Hello Ilysse,
Well, I dunno if it moved, but Byram Hills now gives its location as Armonk, NY
rather than Westchester.
I had no success at all with any recipes from Byram Hills School District, nor did
I find anyone who said they had worked in the cafeteria. Sorry.
You might try e-mailing this columnist at the Westchester View: Just Ask Me
or the Food Service at Byram Hills School District at: http://www.byramhills.org/departments.cfm?subpage=769
Best I can do for either the beefaroni or the peanut butter squares. Unless a local
newspaper publishes them, it's rare to see recipes from local school cafeterias.

Hello Dale,
I had no success locating this. We don't have the Time/Life set of
cookbooks.
I'm posting your request on the site. Perhaps a reader can help.

Subject: Serbian chocolate cake
Dear Phaedrus,
I have just discovered your web site. I am hoping you can help me locate a recipe.
In the early '70s I had a friend at UCLA whose family was Serbian. One day he brought
the remains of a cake his family had purchased to celebrate Easter. Considering that
was nearly forty years ago, you may imagine that I can rightly say that the cake was
unforgettable! It had been bought at a bakery that provided Serbian treats. It was the
typical size and shape of a round bakery birthday cake. What was notable about it was
that it had a variety of flavors. The cake was chocolate and the filling layers included
coffee or mocha as well as chocolate. Whipped cream was probably involved. I have no
idea what it was called. I searched your lengthy cake index and did not see anything
that might have been that cake. Can you help?
Thank you,
Julie
Hello Julie,
Sorry, I cannot find a Serbian chocolate cake recipe with coffee or mocha filling.
I have checked dozens of Serbian recipes sites and Serbian Bakery sites. If it was
a traditional Serbian cake, then it should have been on one of those sites. Perhaps
it was something created by that specific bakery.
There are some Serbian chocolate cake recipes on these site, but none has coffee or mocha filling:
