Serving Ideas : When serving, I prefer to slice some of the logs and leave some whole to be sliced as needed. Serve with assorted crackers. Garnish with tomatoes, green onions and sprigs of fresh parsley, if desired. Make ahead and freeze.. 12 logs serves 25 - 30 people NOTES : Good way to utilize any left over roast. If you are using left over roast, use your own judgement on amounts to use. I just use a little of this and a little of that.
