I absolutely love coming together with family and enjoying childhood recipes of old. One of my favorite recipes to make alongside my sisters is this one for tuna patties. We used to make tuna patties almost every day as our protein. My mom said we were so picky as children, it was incredibly difficult to find us something that we would all love and enjoy, so instead what she did was make us these tuna patties that my grandma used to make her.
Apparently being a picky eater runs in our family. We used to give my mom a hard time and according to my grandma’s stories, my mom used to give her a difficult time with eating. We were all so different and wanted French fries or rice for lunch, when my mom and grandma wanted us to eat more filling things with protein.
Well, after trying so many different things, one day they decided to make tuna patties and they were a hit. They think it was because they were fried and a little golden brown, making them look like fries. We loved them so much, we ate them well into our teen years and still do!
