Buffalo wings didn’t get their name from any reference to buffalo, the animal. They were first introduced on a restaurant menu in Buffalo NY, where they are still a beloved staple of pretty much every bar and local eatery.
Blue cheese dip is easy to make.
Sauté together a few savory ingredients like garlic, shallots and a touch of mustard powder for flavor. Then mix together some yogurt and mayonnaise and add the garlic onion mixture.
Stir in the blue cheese. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to cool it down and allow all those wonderful flavors to meld together, then get out the dippers and enjoy.
