Dutch treat

For those of you who don't know what I was talking about when I mentioned balkabri in the previous post....Balkabri is a cooked mixture of ground meat,oatmeal, graham flour, corn meal, and various other grain flours and meals along with spices like clove and nutmeg. It looks like meaty oatmeal and while warm is spread in loaf pans or a 9x13, covered and refridgerated. When it's cooled it is a firm solid brick of balkabri. Grandma would slice this firm balkabri into thin pieces and fry till crisp. While they were hot and sizzling on our plate we would then pour karo syrup over top....kinda like fat and stroop. Yum yum. Now...for those of you who will ask what is fat and stroop? It's leftover bacon fat heated till nearly smoking and poured over toast on your plate followed by a generous amount of once again...karo syrup, or if you prefer, maple syrup...our family favorite! Let's not get into the artery clogging factor...
