For a family of six, take one half pound of meat scraps, chopped fine; to this add as much again of mashed potatoes and rice, with a handful of rolled crackers. Pepper and salt to taste. Make out in any form desired. Beat up one egg, roll these first in the egg, then in the cracker or bread crumbs, and fry in hot lard. A little thyme may be added.
