I loved it. Just came back from a long weekend in the low country and had it at a restaurant and wanted to see if I could replicate it at home. I think my spread was better. I followed Ina’s recipe to the T except a little less salt and scaled for my gathering. I made it a day ahead and after several “test” crackers I am seriously looking forward to tomorrow’s party.
