    I went to a friend's picnic back in 1973. They made Porcupine meatball. I just remembered about them the other day and wanted to make some. I was just filping through UA-cam and saw you making them. It was the first time i seen your video.

    What a wonderful cookbook! It is surely a precious family heirloom. . . and it keeps all the memories alive with every meal made. When I was a child, I thought porcupines were so elegant. Probably because we had them so rarely.

    Hi Karen, Porcupines was one of the first recipes I made when I was about 14. I found it in the women's companion cookbook that my grandmother gave to my Mom. Fast forward 50 years, and I haven't made them in a while, but your recipe has me wanting to make them. Thank you for the memory boost, and thank you for sharing your recipes. 🙂♥️

    I love porcupine meatballs but my husband’s not a meatball fan but I bet he’d eat porcupine discs. Thanks for sharing this family favorite recipe with us, I’ll for sure be trying these. My husband and our youngest daughter likes to put a spoon full of corn in the well of mashed potatoes then gravy over it all.

    Porcupine meatballs are still a favorite meal for my family. We cook them on the stovetop and simmer the balls in tomato soup and water. There is usually some loose rice that thickens the tomato soup and it goes great with mashed potatoes and peas. We had porcupines for dinner just a few weeks ago but now I'm hungry for them again!

    Karen - I remember this recipe for Porcupines from my childhood - my mama made it the same as you with the brown gravy and mashed 'taters - and peas & carrots were a favorite as well. Thanks for the memory lane walk. I love the expression on Patchie's face at the end of your videos.
