Of course it isn't.
 
Government should ONLY exist to fulfill its immediate and defined
Constitutional functions, period.

The hysterics that the Republican party seeks are only interested in
sensationalism, scandal, gossip, headlines and lies. For all I know,
The Republican party is publishing all their crap in graphic novels to
catch the attention of their supporters. That's why there are some
pretty darn scary candidates for the Republican party.

Studying the issues is simply not an issue for many voters because they
are too hung up on the hyperbole and the misinformation. Some people
are still whining about Hillary's secret and deleted emails about
Benghazi despite their having been been a number of investigations into
the allegations and every one of them has cleared here. Let's not
forget that Republican funded organization of Swift Boat Veterans "For
Truth" who were used to cast aspersion in John Kerry's military
experience. The man had volunteered for service, volunteered for the
hazardous position with the Swift Boat unit. He was cited for heroism
and he was wounded three times, and he is very candid about the actions
that got him the medals were no big deal and the wounds were very minor.

Hi Janet,
 
There is little cooked in the USA that isnt cooked elsewhere as well.
The definition here it is not really the same croquette and it's not
that common in other parts of the USA but may be common in Poland, UK,
and other such places.

That is an interesting idea. I'd tend to add a stronger mushroom
(Shemenji for it's earthyness) to it then use as a spread.

I'm from the mid-west and we made croquettes (mashed potato patties to
you) all the time. Mashed potatoes, maybe a little onion, an egg,
mixed with some bread crumbs to give body,.
shaped into balls, fried in bacon grease and turned three times
(makes a triangular shape) Look beyond the bare bones definition of
croquettes in Wiki.
I don't know where you have the knowledge to declare that it is not
common elsewhere in the US. Some of my friends add cheese. Some do
not add egg. It is still a take off on croquettes.
If I were to give you a link to chili, you wouldn't say that it is
strictly a Texas thing. So, too, your fried mashed potato patties are
not only southern or invented in the South.
You are slipping into Bovery.

Apparently, it's not.
 
I've never even heard of "mashed potato patties", let alone eaten one.
This and I've lived in the USA all my life, never ran across 'em on the
Left Coast or during the 2 yrs I lived in TN.

My mother always made them when there were leftover mashed potatoes.
Like most everything, I'm sure she came across that in a magazine.
They are really good.

Croquettes are mostly a regional food in the US but korokke are probably
one of the most popular dishes to serve at home in Japan. I love that
stuff! It's a side dish that's sometimes served with curry but I like it
with tonkatsu sauce.

It's a variation seem more often in some parts of the south, common
enough to be on simple diner menus. It is not a croquette treatment
per actual results though some add egg and/or a light flour batter to
the outside.
 
Janet B is just upset for some odd reason about it. The ones I refer
to are more of a potato pancake (no flour).
 
You cook them up along with the bacon.

Janet, the south is a BIG place. We can be technically claimed from
Texas to Virginia. Your comment is like saying Gumbo isn't southern
because folks in Kentucky aren't big on Gumbo.

This was surprisingly good, and I'll be making it again for sure.
No, I've not gone vegan ;-) but dairy and I don't always get along so
this will make a nice alternative.

Interesting idea, I wonder how well cauliflower could be incorporated
into something like this? In particular as a sub for almond milk's
flavour... I like almond milk but not sure it would compliment well in
a 'cheese' sauce, for me at least.

Acids are never a good way to clean any metal cookware, causes
microscopic pitting that will cause metal to decay from the inside,
same as dental caries.

I never heard of "brass-bottomed" pots or any brass pots unless you're
talking spitoons.

That's not true, surface condition has nothing to do with 'heat
transmission'. A dark (and rough) surface *absorbs* heat better,
a light shiny surface reflects heat away... remember that next you use
aluminum foil, it's purposely manufactured with a smooth shiney
surface on one side and a dull rough surface on the opposite side,
it's made that way for reasons that are understood by those who know
how to cook... most people cook with aluminum foil back asswards. Most
people have no idea how to maintain metal cookware, smooth and shiney
is the worst condition possible... smooth shiney exteriors reflect
heat away, smooth shiney interiors cause foods to stick.
