Apparently anything someone else likes is TIAD in your book. I don't
happen to like tartar sauce. The only time I buy fresh lemons is when I
need them for a specific purpose.

I wanted something quick and easy and that's what this was. I wasn't
going to fuss around making au gratin potatoes. I had no spinach in the
house, not even frozen, so I opened a can of collard greens.

Looks interesting but I don't bother adding stuff like crushed saltines
or mashed potatoes. The patties hold together just fine without it.
