I have an old Dr. Oetker cookbook from the 1920's and a recipe for
chicken fricasse is very nice until it says to make small meat
dumplings to add to it. I was talking to an elderly German lady and
she says that "fleisch" means BEEF. I can't see myself adding ground
beef dumplings to chicken fricasse! I told her they probably mean
meat like ground chicken. The new Dr. Oetker cookbooks don't have any
meat dumplings in the recipe for Chicken fricasse.
Anyone know for sure what kind of meat dumplings they are talking
about in these old cookbooks?
