What makes this recipe special isn’t just how it tastes, but what it represents. It’s a connection to grandparents, to handwritten recipe cards, to meals prepared without rushing. It’s a reminder of a time when food was personal, when every dish had a story, and when recipes were guarded like family heirlooms.
Making this dish today feels almost like an act of preservation. It honors the people who cooked before us and keeps their knowledge alive, one meal at a time. For some, it will be a rediscovery. For others, it may be their first encounter with something truly old-fashioned.
Either way, this recipe is more than food—it’s history on a plate. And if you know it, you know it. it by standing beside someone older, watching, listening, and remembering.
