Austria 2024
This week Heidi went one step further. She didn't even tell me what she was going to cook.
These are Fleischlaberl. Sort of burgers. They're ok. For once, no one turned their nose up at them.
As burgers go, these are a little more effort than a basic beef patty. Pork and beef combine with stale bread chunks, seasoned and then, for the fun of it, coated in breadcrumbs.
We served them in bread rolls with potato salad and vegetables, but apparently mash potatoes are more traditional. Siân felt like taking this further, at least for my plate, and added smoked cheese and sauerkraut! Fortunately, no one made me wear lederhosen. It has become somewhat a hobby of the girls to watch me eat strange things.

Recipe
- Mix all the ingredients of the core in a bowl and get your hands really gooey.
- Roughly divide into 8 quarter-pounders, accuracy is not necessary, because it allows Daddy to pick the largest ones later.
- Roll each patty in the flour, egg and breadcrumbs
- Shallow fry - find that the oil is instantly absorbed by the breadcrumbs, so keep adding oil as it cooks (this might not be ideally healthy).
- Serve with anything else you can consider vaguely Austrian/Bavarian.
