I had to look it up and yes, quite possibly Wise brand later renamed
Dipsy Doodles. I know the recipe dates back to 1961. I probably have
the original clipping Mom cut from from the newspaper somewhere around
here. Goofy me, I save things like that.

She called them "Corn Doodle Burgers". It's a fond memory. I do like
salmon patties. I just don't make them with crushed corn chips anymore.
