MY ITALIAN FAMILY WOULD ALWAYS USE THE LEFTOVER EGG WASH & BREAD CRUMBS, MIX TOGETHER & FRY THEM IN THE OIL THAT WAS USED TO COOK THE ORIGINAL BREADED EGGPLANT – WE REFERRED TO IT AS – ” AFROSH ” – I DON’T KNOW WHY – IS THERE A ‘PROPER’ NAME FOR THIS – ???

My mom would make a placek every time she breaded something, like schnitzel, cauliflower, …She made a huge placek afterwards and we helped ourselves. Sixty some years later and I’m having a placek my husband made from the bread crumbs, egg mixture, and flour left over from my breaded cauliflower. He loves the idea of no food waste, and it’s soooo good.

I have never heard that name. This has many different names. Placek is just one of them. 🙂 I just can’t remember the other names now.

Oh yes I also don’t like to waste food, plus my husband always asks for placek. 😀
