- Comments: This is very New York. There was a chain of quick eating houses in Manhattan called Chock Full O' Nuts, and years ago this was one of their specialties.
- It is totally simple. Cream cheese is mixed with minced walnuts and spread on slices of date-nut bread.
- If you do not know what date-nut bread is, or possibly if you can't find it in your local supermarket, this recipe is teriffic.
