Figure Eight Friedcakes
In this refined and highly civiliz -- ed age when one speaks of fried: cakes or doughnuts or cruMer there . comes to mind a small ring of more. or less tough dough, fried In syn- thetic lard, encircling a big hole: Not so Grandma's friedcakes. She: never heard of synthetic lard and synthetic butter such as is in gent eral use today. Grandma would take: a piece of dough about a foot long- and fully an inch in diameter and. twist it into which she carefully dropped into- a big figure eight: boiling home made lard. When brown: they were lifted from the fat. with a long fork and placed on a. platter to. cool. When cooked a bit longer a crust sometimes formed slong the: sides. What wouldn't I give for just: one more big old fashioned figure eight fried cake containing five- times the material of the synthetic rings we buy today. Modern: die- tetics teach that such food is un- wholesome. Weil, maybe so. I only: know that the chore boy coaxed: the hired girl to give him many of Gram's big, rich, figure eight fried cakes and he is still alive and going strong.
Other Good Things to Eat
In March the chore boy would be sent to the garden to shovel and chop out of the frozen dirt the par- snips wich Gramp had staked out the fall before. These the hired girl would cut into tin circles, boil them- and then fry in butter. Maybe some: do not like parsnips but thus cooked: and seasoned the men folks thought. them food fit for a king.
Another old fashioned recipe that: comes to Salisbury from Massachu- setts was called nasaump which the: Yankees shortened to "samp." Son -. ry I annot tell you haw it was: made but it was a food made from. kernels of corn soaked in - lye tom remove the tough outer coat of the .. kernel. The kernels would swell and .: open up a little like popped corn .... When Gram got through with it we: found it delicious to eat in milk. We thought no one could make .;
When the barrels of old fashioned " apples were empty there was al -- ways Gram's sack of dried apples? and fried pumpkin for pie timber. In .. the cellar was a barrel of pork and in. the cheese house crocks of sausagey and head cheese. In the smoke house- hung hams and shoulders. Grandma could fix beans in so many different. ways that her men folks never seem- ed to sicken of them. But it should. be remembered that this constant. supply of food for man and beast came only by foresight, management and hard work.

Aunt Weathy's Dog-in-a-Blanket "
This story of old time Yankee ' cooking would not be complete with-> out Aunt Wealthy's recipe for her, the number of the Land Warrant dog-in-a-blanket pudding. This was; the real down east plum duff except, that berries were substituted for-
plums. But first who was. Aunt. Wealthy and how did she get to, Salisbury ? Away back in 1620 a lit- tle ship called the Mayflower brought: her great grandparents to Plymouth;, Mass. and there on a large monu- ment with many other names I reads the name of Edward Fuller, a de- scendant of fhom, one Lot, stopped in Connecticut. Some years later we find Lot Fuller in the primeval for- ests of Oneida county near what is; now the village of Remsen. Now this: Fuller' had two sons, Simeon andk: Samuel. After the Revolution old Captain Simeon became a neighbor and close friend of Baron Hteuben who trained the colonial troops. Simeon's son, Russell, built the Ful- ler mansion more than 100 years ago. It is still kept in a fine state of preservation by Ciara Fuller, the. last descendant of Simeon. The well kept family cemetery nearby records the names of many Fullers who were pioneer leaders in the early history of Onelda county and central New York. Tourists visiting the beautiful: grounds dedicated to Baron Steuben would find it interesting to also vis- it the quaint old Fuller mansion and the beautiful rural Fuller cemetery. (To be continued)
