ckreef Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Sounds like a tasty recipe but it's been a long time since I had anything fried other than French fries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyfish Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Could they be cooked in the oven also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Could they be cooked in the oven also. I don't see why not but have never tried it. The old foods get a special flavor that can not be duplicated without the lard. (I'm not convinced it is that bad for me. Most of my folks lived to around 90.)
