Spinach & Cheese Fritti with Spicy Bloody Mary Dip
This recipe was created with the popular vodka cocktail in mind. The name "Bloody Mary " is said to be named after Queen Mary I, who was nicknamed such for murdering Protestants while attempting to reestablish the Catholic Church. It was invented in 1921. It is also said to be a cure for a hangover due to the heavy vegetable content of the drink, which settles the stomach.
