BALKENBREI 
Pig's head or (if one hasn't the head)
3 lbs. pork
1 lb. beef
1/2 lb. liver (you can add other meat scraps)
3 parts buckwheat
1 part graham flour
1 tbsp. salt

Other recipes vary the proportions of meat. You can use 2 parts buckwheat or 1 part graham. Cover the meat in a large pot with water and boil until all meat falls off the bone (about 1 1/2 hour). Grind the meat finely in meat chopper, reserving the liquid. Strain the liquid, add to ground meat in pan, and bring to a rapid boil.

Slowly add the flours, stirring constantly until mixture is too heavy or stiff to stir. Put into loaf pans immediately refrigerate. For breakfast slice and brown in a little shortening.

I LOVE this stuff. My father, a Dutchman, used to make this every winter. It's a lot of work but delicious!!
