      I grew up in a Hungarian household and my grandma made a similar version of the 200 year old receipt for fried mashed potato balls using leftover mashed potatoes. Her version was "potato cakes". Instead of breading the outside, everything was mixed together and fried in a skillet. She mostly just used onion, salt & pepper and parsley for her version as far as seasoning, omitting the rosemary, thyme and nutmeg. And of course we had duck or goose depending on what my great-uncle was able to successfully hunt.

      Forgive me for asking but do you have any running water nearby-I guess what I’m asking is how do you wash your hands? Between the raw meat and eggs and just the mess of mixing butter with your hands or the potatoes, I keep wondering!
      Thanks.

      It's a cauldron ^_^ there are many sizes of cauldrons some are big some are small like ours. Yes you can reuse the lard over and over in fact that is what people back then certainly would have done. Lard was an important item and was used in soaps, hair pomades and in lotions too. New evidence is coming out saying that lard is healthier than butter and some vegetable oils.

    I just discovered this channel and I totally love it! I love early American history, and I love food. Also, the only thing better than eating good food is seeing someone truly enjoy their food. This young lady was in duck heaven! LOL! Keep up the good work and I'll probably binge watch a bunch of these episodes tonight. Cheers!
