I think everyone knows that. It's still called wild rice.

Not to be confused with the Saucy Esterhazy Grandpa visited before shipping out.

All rices are grains that come from grasses .

After reading this thread I decided to make the sauce last night. I cooked New York strip for the family and lamb for myself. The sauce went over quite well - the tang of the sour cream is a nice contrast to the richness of the meat.

When you make the sauce make sure you keep an eye on the temperature and don't let it come to a boil so that it doesn't break. Also, don't overcook it or it will lose its sheen.

To me the esterhazy sauce is remincicent to beef stroganoff . I think it's awesome that you prepared it!

We always had the jello salad or whatever you call it on holidays. Usually it was lime green with sliced pears, cherries, some other things embedded in it. This year for Christmas we went to my cousin's and she held true to the old tradition: there was the jello salad in a long Pyrex dish. She served it healthier though, on a bed of leaf lettuce.
