English term or phrase: Virgin Mary Crab Salad
This is the TITLE of a recipe - I know people call
the first press olive oil - Extra Virgin Olve Oil, but what can we say about "Crab Salad" - how do we connect "Virgin Mary" to "Crab Salad"? I would SALUTE to one who can come up with a half decent suggestion!
And thank you for your imagination!
