In our house, the answer is a resounding 'Ja.' My wife has never been a fan of pork, but my German Aunt’s famous Frikadellen managed to do the impossible.

Whether you call them Frikadellen, Buletten, or Fleischküchle, these pan-seared patties are a masterclass in 'Old World' flavor. By using traditional spices like mace and marjoram and the secret 'soaked bread' technique, we’re bringing a taste of my European heritage to our new life in Costa Rica.
