Do you know what a tuna patty is? Canned tuna, egg, crushed saltines, chopped onion, mashed, pattied, fried. Depression Era recipe maybe...I got it from my mom who was born in January 1929. I made this recipe in 1993, served it at family dinner. Our 3-year-old took one look and said, "I'm not eating this. It's cat food." We didn't have a cat as a pet. Why did she say that?
