The story behind this recipeI was not always a example girl, when I was 5 I was catching and learning all the swearing words out of every film and street talk as if it was my hobby ( so I became a philologist later;)
Most of all out of my swearing suffered my granny, everything I knew I put on her grey head even without understanding what I do, she never got angry with me, she was always saying " Stop, my Dear, one day you will understand that kind words are much more rare and precious". Of course I didn't want her cry I was just a very curious and word loving child. Years passed since that time, I became a philologist and culture researcher with command of several language, slightly step by step I began to understand how precious and important is every word you pronounce, I tried to remember several tasty things my granny did, chose potato and flour balls which if to say I adore is to say nothing, united recipes into one recipe and remembered about her "funny spice" she always added into my food!
That's how appeared Melancholic Potato, because I miss my Granny but enjoy the love she sends to me wherever she is.
And I never forget to whisper to my food, cause you should share your love, shouldn't you?!
