"A Czech meal, Dodge County Extension 1976. Has sauerkrat dressing made with duck grease. I am guessing on how much this will serve and how long it takes. This is a very old recipe that children are trying to find because that's how Grandma cooked it. This is vegetarian except for the duck fat, and who has that? Butter or oil could be used."
