My thoughts:

Growing up, my Grandpop lived inwards a basement storey inwards our house. He had his ain kitchen besides equally made his ain meals, alone coming upstairs for holidays! He made a lot of food I young adult adult woman quite a fleck including his strange version of fried chicken (one twenty-four hours I testament recreate it but it makes me distressing to hateful value well-nigh eating it without him), e'er changing beef stew, ground beef gravy, home fries besides equally what he called meat cakes. I've talked before well-nigh Baltimore's High German language heritage besides equally too then I shouldn't convey been surprised when, after making meat cakes a field back inwards a tally of nostalgia, I googled meat cakes to come across if they were a Baltimore affair or merely a Grandpop affair besides equally industrial plant life that they were in, fact, a High German language thing. Grandpop e'er made them with conduct soil beef but I had roughly "meatloaf" mix on laissez passer (ground beef, pork besides equally veal parcel together) when I recreated them besides equally too then I used that besides equally liked it quite a bit. After doing roughly sleuthing into frikadellen, which apparently, are what I've been calling meat cakes all along, I industrial plant life they are oft made with a mixture of meats, often, the beef, veal besides equally pork mixture I unknowingly used. Perhaps frikadellen are inwards my blood. I had e'er visit of them every chip a thrifty choice with their utilisation of staff of life to stretch out the meat, a perfect choice for immigrants besides equally railroad workers inwards Pigtown here inwards Baltimore, but if they convey High German language roots maybe that was alone purpose of it, mayhap they were to a greater extent than of a precursor to the hamburger. Who knows? At any rate, meat cakes are tasty besides equally simple besides equally when I'm feeling nostalgic I add together together them to the menu, no affair what they are called.
