Alan, I had the muffelatta at the Central Grocery too and loved it. I noticed, while there, that they had posted many, many copies of Jane and Michael Sterns column about muffelattas. In every copy they had carefully cut out the olive salad recipe the Sterns gave. I figure this indicates that they thought it a good imitation. Lo and behold, they missed the recipe in one copy. I hastily scribbled it in my calendar, and here it is: Muffelatta a la Central Grocery, according to Jane and Michael Stern Posted to FOODWINE Digest 29 October 96 Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 11:23:48 +0000 From: Julie Gibert <gibert@GORT.CANISIUS.EDU>
