This is a dish from the Southeast, but hope it can possibly work for you. The garnish on top can be a little much & can be omitted!

  • 4 tsp. finely chopped onion
  • 2 quarts whole milk
  • 1 stick real butter
  • Dash of nutmeg or mace
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • Dash of red pepper
  • 2 TBL. plain flour
  • 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 pint whipping cream
  • Sherry
  • Parsley to garnish
