Kromeskies

Kromeskies are croquettes cooked in the Russian manner; they are made as follows. Mince the remains of any cold meat, fish, poultry, or shell-fish, as for croquettes; season them nicely, and shape them, as usual, like a cork. Instead of dipping them in egg, and afterwards in bread-crumbs, cut some slices of cold fat bacon (boiled) as thin as writing-paper; wrap the croquettes in these, dip each one in a little frying batter (see BATTER FOR FRYING), fry them in hot clarified fat, and when brown and crisp, arrange neatly on a hot dish; garnish with fried parsley, and serve immediately. Kromeskies may be made according to any of the recipes given for croquettes, and should be cooked as above. The following recipe will serve as a specimen.
