Kroketten

Croquettes (Kroketten) are a small cake or ball of minced meat, poultry, or fish, but they could also be made from rice, potato, or other food. Much like a chicken nugget back home, they are coated with beaten egg and breadcrumbs, then fried. The croquette originated for France. Many other cultures/countries have this food with the own unique different recipes. In 1898 Monsieur Escoffier and Monsieur Philias Gilber created the original recipe for croquettes.

A croquette is usually made by adding a mixture of potato with other vegetables as the “middle layer” of the croquette. Then, put a different ingredient inside the mixture of vegetables and you would roll it or cover it, like the bread in pig’s in a blanket. Next roll/cover the roll with breadcrumbs. Finally fry it.

When we are on our trip in these countries, you will mostly likely find it in all of the countries in many of the restaurants we go to. The difference is the might be different recipes or ingredients when trying the many different types in different countries.
