Kromeskies

Stuffed bacon rolls

Kromeskies, or cromesquis, are found frequently in early nineteenth-century cookery books, and appear to be strange hybrids, part-French, part-Polish, part-sausage, part-croquette. In any case they are wholly delicious: this version was the one favoured by the South Kensington School of Cookery in its heyday, one hundred years ago.
