Did you know?
A croquette is a small cylinder of food consisting of a thick binder combined with a filling, which is breaded and deep-fried, and served as a side dish, a snack, or fast food worldwide. The binder is typically a thick béchamel or brown sauce, or mashed potatoes. A 17th-century recipe for croquettes (croquets) by François Massialot binds a filling of meat, truffles, marrow, bread crumbs, and cheese with egg then breads and fries them in lard. They may be as large as an egg and can be served as an hors-d’œuvre or as a garnish. Source: Wiki
