Keep out of the way of the devouring mob. Supposed to serve up to 20 to 25 with other horse divers. This is a killer party item. My friends stand around and inhale this stuff. If there's any leftover, it's great the next day. I usually make my own pesto but the stuff you can buy in the refrigerator bin at the grocery store is okay.
