Fleischkeuchle Week!


If you've been following our Facebook chatter for the last week, you know that there's been a lot of talk about fleischkeuchle, a delicacy of the German-Russian population in central North Dakota. Your humble narrator, a native of Garrison, N.D. (deep in the heart of fleischkeuchle country) felt such pangs of nostalgia for its deep-fried meaty goodness that I needled our kitchen until we finally tried it out as a lunch special. Our chef made as authentic of a version as he could - it's a very simple recipe - and the result became a minor phenomenon.

The Milestones Photography crew was gracious enough to come down for a taste and provided the above fan photo to our Facebook page. You can read an account of their trip here on the Milestones blog. Thanks, guys!

*Today (Friday) is the last day of the fleischkeuchle special, but it was successful enough to try again someday. If you're interested in finding out the next time we have it, send me an email.

*Also, did you try the fleischkeuchle? Send me your thoughts or suggestions.
