These really are old irish, my great grandmother used this recipe. As you say, what ever you have on hand! She made these for any big meal with the family, if she had extra cheese, extra ham scraps, a bit of bacon, it went in! Green onions in spring too! Every time she made them, they were different, but this is the basic idea of this recipe! If she didn't have cream, she made a basic white sauce with milk and butter and used that, but usually she made them when she had extra cream from the farm!

Try it served with puff pastry it's even better! Sometimes our local stores don't have the crab, you can substitute imitation and it still works. Do not however, substitute the lobster shrimp or scallops. Glad I found this, we had it done by an executive chef at a local dining establishment, and when he left, the recipe went with him! They only ran it as a special when he was working! He served in in layers over puff pasty pillows.
