where does the name oysters rockefeller come from
Oysters Rockefeller The dish was named Oysters Rockefeller after John D. Rockefeller, the then wealthiest American, for its extreme richness.[3] It consists of oysters on the half-shell topped with a green sauce and bread crumbs, then baked or broiled.[citation needed] Though the original sauce recipe is a secret, it includes a purÃ©e of a number of green vegetables that may or may not include spinach.[3] Similar versions of the dish have proliferated in New Orleans, with none acclaimed as an accurate duplicate.
