They’re actually pronounced CROW -kettes. It’s French. They were a way to use up leftover meats by mincing, mixing usually with egg and breadcrumbs and whatever else, seasoning etc. then frying them. Sometimes they did them in a triangular shape; I used to have an antique tool to shape them with. Apparently the oldest receipt dates to 1691 and the name comes from the French “croquer”, whichmeans “ to crunch.” My antique tool was from the 20s, I think. 1920s.
c est exact ! ma grand mère nous cuisinait ce plat de croquettes de viande (boeuf) avec des légumes coupées finement, qui seront intégrés à la viande et lier avec des oeufs. Ensuite, elles seront formées en rond ou en longueur selon l'humeur de la cuisinière. Mises dans de la farine, ensuite, dans des oeufs et pour finir dans de la chapelure... Elles seront cuites dans une poêle avec du saindoux ou de l'huile. Sorties pour être égoûter sur une grille ou dans une passoire pour enlever l'excédent de gras. Accompagnées d'une sauce tomates ou de mayonnaise...... Un vrai délice. 🥰
I always watch the cooking segment, THEN the frontier patriot review :) lol love you guys. So happy to see you guys thriving! Can’t wait to see baby!!! ❤️❤️
"Come one, come all! For ye old chicky nuggies!" 😋 I'm so excited to see how these turn out! Looking forward to catching this later and getting to chat with everybody! I hope everyone is having a most wonderful week so far! Cheers! 😊
My Granny called the crow (like the bird) - kets (rhymes with pets). Croquettes. I have not ever had chicken ones, only fish. But I'd love to try them! Thank you for sharing! ❤
To start with thank you so much for the video and all the information to keep us updated. It was nice to see mishmish. I was impressed with Justine's cooking abilities and with Ron's eating abilities. You two are so interesting. I love the old newspapers. Did you ever get your lightning rod and steel capable grounded, before springtime gets here. I feel odd saying I love two people I've never met but you make it seem so personal so I'm going to say it anyway we love you too and good luck with the baby and everything coming up. ❤
@@amsodoneworkingnow1978 a lot of people including myself are of Scottish ancestry Scottish was my top ancestry when I did my DNA Test When people came it was about survival you drank out of what you had a lot of them settled away from people so getting supplies in someways was difficult so if you just had saucers to drink or eat on that's what you had.
Coffee in the saucer was often portrayed in the early westerns. My grandfather did it also (I was born in 1950). He would also dunk buttered Trenary Toast in his coffee. Trinary Toast is a type of toasted rusk with cinnamon made by the Trenary Bakery in Trenary Michigan. Much loved by the Swedes and Finns.
God I just really adore you two. Your channel is so wholesome in a world of oversharing and too much vulgarity and you guys are people I want as friends and neighbors ❤🇺🇸🫶
Jumped paused and jumped off to watch Ron's Short Movie of being unhorsed. Loved this Ron!! Really gives. your channel a whole new dimension... and even more interesting. Also gave me an appreciation of a Revolutionary Soldier in early America. Respect !!
Justine, I craved citrus like crazy with each one of my pregnancies. I was told I was deficient in folate which helps in the development of the baby. That craving is a good thing! 😁 you should feel butterfly flutterings… it’s a strange sensation! Congratulations you guys! I’m excited for the both of you! ❤
Wear gloves when handling the old papers. Our fingers have acids and oils which are not kind to those fragile gems. How fun to have and read those papers! Enjoy!
Omgosh these look amazing. I’ll be making these now. Congratulations Justine and Ron on 17 wks! I’m at 13! Ive been drinking orange juice nonstop for a few weeks now😂🍊 Thank you for the chew and chat channel as well because sometimes I cook what you cook without knowing if y’all even like it so this is great to watch and I love you too so much it’s such a pleasure to watch and you make me laugh! Thank you 🥰❤
The chicken croquets look sooo good they must be Ron ate nearly all of them.Mish mish is so cute running in the snow.i love the snow your little cabin is so pretty. Bless you both and the baby and mish mish
My grand mother and her sister would drink coffie from saucers. They would also converse in low German which would fascinate me as seven year old boy in 1962. My grandmothers grandparents emigrated from Germany to Franklin county Missouri in the 1830's. Are there any German-Americam cook books you could make dishes from? I rember cranking the sausage grinder when they made pork sausage. Summer sausage was the best.
You have to make these for your little one when old enough! And I'm happy to say in California people put ranch on everything too you'll be happy to know. My daughter puts ketchup on everything and she's 27 love your guys videos. Keep them coming. I can't wait till you guys are at the new home and do gardening on your channel ♥️🌱♥️🌱♥️🌱♥️🌱♥️🌱♥️🌱♥️Have a safe and great week! I heard about the drinking from the saucer that people were doing it in the 1800s and 1900s. I'm 61 but I've heard about this over 30 years ago.. love you guys keep them coming!
I remember my grandparents drinking their coffee from a saucer. I didnt even remember that until you spoke of it here. Thank you for that! I miss them so much! 😔💜💜
I'm going to make these for my grandson. He is a super picky eater. He is autistic and has sensory issues especially with food. I think he would like these. Thanks Justine. Love your channels and I love you guys too. You are so much fun to watch. ❤
@@janetthompson7914 I have a child that has autism as well and has many issues with textures. I am going to make these as well and make them into fun shapes! I’ve never ground up the chicken to make them before. I’ve also never added another kind of meat. Chicken and bacon sounds decadent… mmmm
Update, I made these last night for my grandson. I am happy to say they passed the test. I made enough to put in the freezer so he can have them when ever. Great recipe Justine. Thanks again , God Bless you both.
I have quietly followed your channel since you were a "maid" in a historical house. I have adored all your videos. I am so very happy for you and Ron and this little bean you are growing. Now! These chicken nuggets look amazing.
Wow...those chicken nuggets look fabulous...I think I'm going to make them for my family. Ron looked as though he thoroughly enjoyed them! Definitely a winner dinner!! 😋 Interesting snips of news from those old newspapers...🧐
Thank you so much for the folly, facts and fun, Justine and Ron! Every Chew and Chat is a delight and we all love watching and keeping up with your lives. So excited for your new home and baby Rayfield is bringing joy to us all. Have a blessed week and stay safe and warm! xoxo
Pouring coffee/tea was also done in the old West. It was considered very informal. There's an old anecdote that an Easterner saw a cowboy drinking coffee, and asked him where he could get a cup. The cowboy said, "Here, you can have mine, it's already saucered and blowed." We used to get comic paperbacks when I was growing up, mainly of Andy Capp, a British comic strip. Andy was always pouring his tea into his saucer, blowing on it, and drinking it from the saucer before drinking it from his cup.
I Live in Finland and my grandmother poured coffee on a small saucer and drank from it. He had a piece of sugar in his lip when he drank😄so it was quite normal😄.
Hi Ron & Justine! Been watching both your channels for a couple of years! Typically you should start to feel your baby moving by the 18th week... it comes out of nowhere and feels like you have butterflies moving in your stomach (in a cool way).
Yay! Chicken nuggets!! I will have to make this!! Great job! My father in law drank his coffee or tea from a saucer and also my grandfather. They were both born around 1910. If you are into dishes and china like I am, there was a period where the saucers were deeper, more bowl like. This was very common for a long time. It would cool off a hot cup of tea. They would pour it from their cup into the saucer. I still remember them doing this in the 1970's. Have a good week!!
I always watch the cooking segment first then come here to enjoy visiting with my American cousin and his beautiful wife love to both of you from Bonnie Scotland x
I always watch the dishes being made and then this channel. Its alot of fun seeing food cooked like it used to be before all the conviences of modern life. Thanks for sharing all of it with us. We love you guys.
Hi Guys, Nice to see you doing so well. Croquettes are pronounced with the emphasis on the last syllable. The ones you made look delicious! Way to go Justine: your baby is going to be addicted to good food! Be well, the both of you 😀
I am going to try to make this!! I enjoy both channels also by the way! I am so happy for you and Ron on your growing family! ❤️ can’t wait to see what see the many exciting things happening for you both in 2025! ❤️much love from Buffalo, NY.
OMG Justine! You made me laugh SO hard with your craving of oranges!! It brought back memories of when I was expecting my son (who is now 44 years old!), I had such insane cravings for oranges that my hands would literally be shaking as I was peeling them I couldn't get them in my mouth fast enough!! As for any aversions to food, I couldn't eat ANY beef, I couldn't even look at it, touch it or prepare it for the whole 9 months ! It's funny how these cravings / aversions suddenly appear during a pregnancy!! 🥰
Hi you two, love your video as always. I think the children saw a seal with a tangle of seaweed which he swiped with it's flipper. My grandpa in Arkansas who was a farmer used to pour his coffee into a saucer and drink it. Thank you and I would love to see more little skits. The only thing I was waiting for you to open the door when Ron was knocking. I would have liked that. Take care and Love from Idaho.
I saw your soldier skit and really enjoyed it, and I think you recreating paintings is a great idea. I've seen a lot of photos on the internet of people creatively recreating famous paintings. Your spin on the idea sounds like a lot of fun.
My Great-grandmother taught me that it was more correct to pour your tea into the saucer than to actually drink from the delicate cup. She was born in 1893 and died in 1995 and it was still a 'thing' when she was younger. And yes, we were all born & raised in New England.

I agree its croquettes a long o as in crow😊
Hahaha awww I love how Ron puts his hand on your shoulder once he realizes how good they are lmao😂
Baby Rayfield demands 1820s "Happy Meal"! 😂 These chicken croquets, the original tomato ketchup, stuffed roasted apples, and a cornhusk doll!
I always watch the cooking segment, THEN the frontier patriot review :) lol love you guys. So happy to see you guys thriving! Can’t wait to see baby!!! ❤️❤️
So do I!
I always watch Justine making the food and THEN watch this video. It's so relaxing to watch her cooking the old fashion way. Plus she's adorable.
"Come one, come all! For ye old chicky nuggies!" 😋 I'm so excited to see how these turn out! Looking forward to catching this later and getting to chat with everybody! I hope everyone is having a most wonderful week so far! Cheers! 😊

Oh yes! Salmon patties are a staple in my house! It's also a French recipe.
My mother called them kro- kays...lol
@@felicitysileas1051I love red salmon.
That's the way I have always heard it
pronounced.
@pinkdoor. That’s the way I have always heard and said the word.
Hello Ron and Justine. I always watch both channels. I learn so much and I love the history. I feel like I am a throwback from that time area lol.
We're so glad you enjoy our content!

Crow ketts , try saying it that way. Thank you so much for reading the old newspaper! Definately super cool.
We always watch the Early American video first then the Chew & Chat. We enjoy it while winding down before bed. 😊
Laura Ingalls-Wilder wrote about drinking from the saucer in her Little House on the Pairie books. The book about her husband's childhood to be exact.
My grandma and my aunt her sister always drink from saucers
Here in Scotland that was considered extremely bad manners still is
@@amsodoneworkingnow1978 a lot of people including myself are of Scottish ancestry Scottish was my top ancestry when I did my DNA Test
When people came it was about survival you drank out of what you had a lot of them settled away from people so getting supplies in someways was difficult so if you just had saucers to drink or eat on that's what you had.
My favorite channel on RUclips!
Hello Ron, Justine and everyone watching ❤
Love from Southwestern Indiana
My family makes something similar also called croquettes using leftover ham and mashed potatoes. We serve them with white gravy and rice.
I watch the cooking segment first. Love seeing the how things are made. ❤
Coffee in the saucer was often portrayed in the early westerns. My grandfather did it also (I was born in 1950). He would also dunk buttered Trenary Toast in his coffee.

I never watch chew and chat until I watch you cook it first!
Same
Me too❤️
I believe it’s safe to say that Ron liked the chicken coquettes.
I always watch Justine cook it first🥰🥰
God bless you both!
Oh they look delicious----no wonder Ron ate so many, needed some fried potatoes with them!! YUM!!
Omgosh these look amazing. I’ll be making these now. Congratulations Justine and Ron on 17 wks! I’m at 13! Ive been drinking orange juice nonstop for a few weeks now😂🍊 Thank you for the chew and chat channel as well because sometimes I cook what you cook without knowing if y’all even like it so this is great to watch and I love you too so much it’s such a pleasure to watch and you make me laugh! Thank you 🥰❤
My grandmother always drank from her saucer. It was to cool it quickly. She learned it from her mother, born 1850.
Worried we haven’t heard from you this week, praying all is well.❤ 🙏
Crow-kets ❤ They look good & I bet Belly Bean enjoyed them, too. 🙂
You should have seen the absolute panic and scramble of my 2 cats when Mishmish ran toward the camera in the opening scene.
Always watch the cooking then the chew and chat.
My husband watched Early American with me, and asked me to try the recipe. I think, I will.
Are you guys ok with pewter dishes and tomato products/acids? Have you done any research about lead leaching from them by it?
The chicken croquets look sooo good they must be Ron ate nearly all of them.Mish mish is so cute running in the snow.i love the snow your little cabin is so pretty. Bless you both and the baby and mish mish
Always watch the cooking section in x2! It’s so fun to watch you cook really fast.🤭
We put ranch on everything too!
I always watch early American first, but this channel for some reason is the one always recommended to me so I have to go search for the other.
My grand mother and her sister would drink coffie from saucers. They would also converse in low German which would fascinate me as seven year old boy in 1962. My grandmothers grandparents emigrated from Germany to Franklin county Missouri in the 1830's. Are there any German-Americam cook books you could make dishes from?

Also MUSTARD over ketchup! On everything ! Lol
I am also pregnant, 18 weeks! Its such a crazy feeling being almost at the halfway mark! Congratulations to the both of you! 👶🏻
I always watch how it's made then the chew n chat. Love both your channels. ❤
Lmao please do that at the tea party at the fort and tell us about it! I love learning these old methods. Pinkies up haha!
The grandparents did the sipping from saucer thing with hot coffee. I’m early 60’s & Papa taught me to do this .
Yes, I remember my Grandpa 'born 1880' would pour his hot coffee into a saucer and slurp it down. Haha
Yes, I too am early 60s. My grandma and her sister drank from shallow saucer bowls
My grandpa did the same thing when I was young. He is the only one I've seen. I am 73 years old.
I love watching you cook and you and Ron on chew and chat.
I have to watch it in order, I look at the cooking first then I watch this😊
You have to make these for your little one when old enough! And I'm happy to say in California people put ranch on everything too you'll be happy to know.

We always pronounced crow-kets. Could be wrong lol
Yes we did too!
Same! And we love them. Now I am craving them.
Always look forward to both channel videos! Any house updates?
croquet is said like crow-Ket
Yes!
When I see you have a new Video on, I light up. You both are always so Happy.
I do watch the Cooking Show.
Your precious child is going to be very blessed with your cooking from scratch ❤
We love chicken nuggets! Sorry we're late! Just tunning in.Rebecca and David Back.yoy folk's really bring history to life!
Very early memory of my Grandma Sylvia was watching her pour her coffee in her saucer and drinking it....
Thanks for your excellent show!
Thankyou Stephanie we really appreciate it!
You two are adorable and Justine with her orange cravings - try a creamsicle those are delicious!
The snap shot into history would be great! I'd be adding it to my Sunday RUclips binge, lol..
Happy New Year Sir Alfred! You’re looking quite dapper.
How funny 56 yrs ago I craved oranges so much. Had a bag a day. (Dr said I was needing vitamin C) love you both so much. God Bless
I remember my grandparents drinking their coffee from a saucer. I didnt even remember that until you spoke of it here. Thank you for that! I miss them so much! 😔💜💜
Congrats you two! 🤍

My grandson is also autistic and hardly eats anything, most food textures make him gag. He does love chicken however. I should try this as well
Update, I made these last night for my grandson. I am happy to say they passed the test. I made enough to put in the freezer so he can have them when ever. Great recipe Justine. Thanks again , God Bless you both.
I absolutely watched it, I love watching Justine cook, the only problem is I get so hungry!🙏❤️❄️⛄️
Me too
I have quietly followed your channel since you were a "maid" in a historical house. I have adored all your videos. I am so very happy for you and Ron and this little bean you are growing.
Now! These chicken nuggets look amazing.
I think they would put the tea in the saucer to dunk hard cookies in it also. :)
Looking forward to it. Maybe you could turn the cabin window into a horse and buggy drivethru.
😂
That's just a cute idea love it
I always, every week watch Justine make it first then come her and watch you eat it. 🙂
The skits are a great idea.
Wow...those chicken nuggets look fabulous...I think I'm going to make them for my family. Ron looked as though he thoroughly enjoyed them! Definitely a winner dinner!! 😋

Yes, my grandma and her sister were born in the 1880s and also drink from a shallow bowl
I Live in Finland and my grandmother poured coffee on a small saucer and drank from it. He had a piece of sugar in his lip when he drank😄so it was quite normal😄.
I love watching you folks it reminds me of growing up in Maine on my family's homestead. Many great memories! Congratulations on the baby.
Thank you!! So grateful needed a recipe for chicken!!! Love bless you both!!
Hi Ron & Justine! Been watching both your channels for a couple of years! Typically you should start to feel your baby moving by the 18th week... it comes out of nowhere and feels like you have butterflies moving in your stomach (in a cool way).
My grandpa was raised in Kansas-he drank his coffee like that his entire life.
My grandpa was from Arkansas and he did that too!
Congratulations to you both! Babies are such a blessing.
I always watch the videos of Justine cooking, then I watch the videos of you both eating and talking about it. Congratulations to both of you.
Yay! Chicken nuggets!! I will have to make this!! Great job! My father in law drank his coffee or tea from a saucer and also my grandfather. They were both born around 1910. If you are into dishes and china like I am, there was a period where the saucers were deeper, more bowl like. This was very common for a long time. It would cool off a hot cup of tea.

I almost always watch the food prep on your other channel before I watch the premiere on this channel.😊
I bet those would be awesome as chicken and waffles. YUM!
I always watch it cooked before I come over to watch chew & chat🥰👩🍳🥰
I always watch the cooking segment first then come here to enjoy visiting with my American cousin and his beautiful wife love to both of you from Bonnie Scotland x
I always watch it being made but tonight this came up first. So I’ll watch backwards!
I always watch you make it first. I'm am definitely going to try this - however, I think I'll buy ground chicken! LOL!
Ground chicken croquettes are amazing
I always watch the dishes being made and then this channel. Its alot of fun seeing food cooked like it used to be before all the conviences of modern life. Thanks for sharing all of it with us. We love you guys.
I always watch the cooking first😊Love from New Zealand🌸
Hi Guys,
Nice to see you doing so well.
Croquettes are pronounced with the emphasis on the last syllable. The ones you made look delicious! Way to go Justine: your baby is going to be addicted to good food! Be well, the both of you

I am going to try to make this!! I enjoy both channels also by the way! I am so happy for you and Ron on your growing family! ❤️ can’t wait to see what see the many exciting things happening for you both in 2025! ❤️much love from Buffalo, NY.
The cooking is my favorite and Justine does a great job
OMG Justine! You made me laugh SO hard with your craving of oranges!!

It's funny how these cravings / aversions suddenly appear during a pregnancy!! 🥰
I too craved oranges with my first. And it's fun when baby discovers your bladder is fun to bounce on.
Hi you two, love your video as always.
I think the children saw a seal with a tangle of seaweed which he swiped with it's flipper.
My grandpa in Arkansas who was a farmer used to pour his coffee into a saucer and drink it. Thank you and I would love to see more little skits. The only thing I was waiting for you to open the door when Ron was knocking. I would have liked that. Take care and Love from Idaho.
I just adore these two lovebirds and their magical, time-traveling cottage in the woods. ❤
I’m from the south and we also put ranch on everything lol. At this point everyone does
I saw your soldier skit and really enjoyed it, and I think you recreating paintings is a great idea. I've seen a lot of photos on the internet of people creatively recreating famous paintings. Your spin on the idea sounds like a lot of fun.
Oh my gosh, I've only ever watched your silent videos so this was a shocker. So cute! Congratulations!
I did watch you make the receipt before watching this. I laughed so hard, I cried when you were chopping. Well done! ❤
Ron, that sounds like a very cool idea. Have you ever seen the photos of people in museums that look just like people in the paintings?
My Great-grandmother taught me that it was more correct to pour your tea into the saucer than to actually drink from the delicate cup. She was born in 1893 and died in 1995 and it was still a 'thing' when she was younger. And yes, we were all born & raised in New England.
