Actually a friend was over for Shabbat dinner and his parents were German and never served fricassee. Do you have the cole slaw recipe??

Egg noodles is a GREAT idea as an alternative to potatoes. My mother served egg noodles with veal schnitzle. It was great.

It was one of my favorites. She also made a killer cole slaw with white vinegar (no mayo) and peppers. The meatballs were beef and very small and she served the dish with egg noodles. Our family was of Russian descent….is fricassee Germanic?

Glad to hear from you!! I keep checking your blog. Where was your grandma from?? I am sure that originally my mother-in-law used beef. She just told my husband that the secret ingredient is grape jelly. Her sauce is much darker than mine and now I know why. Not sure how much and the idea doesn’t thrill me but it might be worth trying.

Is it possible that she might have combined meatballs with the chicken? I’ll have to ask my mom if she remembers. Anyhow – I am definitely going to try this recipe. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Love the story as always.

This sounds delicious, I’ll have to give it a try.

It got me interested the definition of fricassee, which I looked up on Wikipedia. There are links there to other recipes, and I bet you could do that too!

I think you were the only one who didn’t have a Volvo then.

Love,
