Hundred Year Old Recipe

This recipe is one hundred and four years old.
And it has no sugar so it's real.

I can hit this recipe dead on.
When I'm done with it, it tastes like it's a hundred years old!

Back then, people believed that the way to a man's heart was with food.
As we all now know, it's through his chest with a sharp knife!
