See Kelsey Cook: Salmon Patties

The said word "patty" always makes me envision a certain Mayonnaise, Patti

Also, Patty Lee - Les Savy Fav (a song)

Riddled with indecisiveness from the get-go, I know that I am a smart and capable person. But sometimes, I can't make up my mind whether I want a salmon patty or a salmon burger. Silly, huh? Well, silly or not - that's the reality of who I am.

With anything though, everything usually reverts back to my memory - the freshest of starts. Growing up, salmon patties were always the norm as far as the week's worth of dinners was concerned - always made with canned salmon, of course. Salmon patties eventually would become a diet staple, since I did not (and still do not) like drinking milk *gag* and in turn, made me calcium and Vitamin D deficient.

Years later, I've grown up (sort've) and still love salmon patties. They're comfort food and make me feel like all is right with the world. (also. it should be mentioned that my salmon patty dinner is just not right til I have a squirt of ketchup on top. no ketchup? no comfort.) Upon growing up, and having to buy and shop for my own groceries - I've learned that canned salmon can be quite pricey. It's not cheap canned food like tuna. A can of tinned salmon (bones and all) can run you over $6. That's a pretty steep price for tinned fish if you ask me. Still, forking over that much $$ is worth it if you factor in the health benefits of eating the salmon bones.

I don't really have much care for what's good for a person's health, per se. Just not my thing. That may be my emptied wallet talking - but either way, I'm one for pinching pennies.

Salmon patties were made for pinching pennies. I'm all for that so here we go.
