Chicken Fricassee and Dumplings ...p58

Does any of my generation remember Grandma Alma's Chicken Fricassee and Dumplings dish?  I remember as a child, disdaining the chicken left on the bones and having to pick it apart while I ate.  Now, of course, I love this bit of authenticity - this extra flavor to the stew.  This Hungarian dish made me realize the dull flavor of my customary chicken and dumplings recipes that use only boneless white meat, and reverted me back to the days of my youth where there was a whole chicken in every pot, skin, bones and all.

Jon thought the dumplings were the best he'd ever tasted and I dare say, the critic concurred.

Hardy Appetit!
