📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Frikadellen are the meat patties German families make all the time, called by other names like Buletten or Fleischpflanzerl in some regions. Mixed ground meat is combined with soaked bread or breadcrumbs, onion, and egg, shaped into flat discs, and pan-fried until browned. They're good hot and just as good cold, so they're popular for picnics and lunch boxes.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a German family dinner, frikadellen sizzle in the pan and make their way to the table.
