Yes and I never thought it matched what I had in a Greek friends restaurant
I haven't quite figured it out either.

No recipe, joanie2, but hearty agreement as to the wonders of good taramasalata. My favorite...
...family-run Greek place (Golden Greek in Glendale, for Scott and Mia, et.al.) makes a superb taramasalata. Creamy, tangy, salty, light, and ooooh so good with freshly baked pita.
Gotta go. They took July off, so they're back!

Here's a weird one. I wnet to a big Easter brunch many moons ago. There was the best taramasata.
Seemed no one was trying it. I felt bad for the chef, actually. So at the end of the day, when I was about to drag my butt out of there, there was this enormous whack of it left over. I encountered someone who had tried it and did like it.
So I extolled its virtues to the chef and talked him into giving all of it to me, plus what he had in the kitchen, in exchange for my making a contribution to the humane society. (It was a small community). I took it home, packaged it into bits and sold every tub of it to neighbours for their contributions as well. So I can say, animals like taramasalata, too. They made a good haul that day. And everybody was happy.
I did get the recipe. Haven't ever made it. But I will make an effort to find it.
