NATIONAL FRITTERS DAY
National Fritters Day on December 2nd allows for no frittering away of the time. So make haste and get them while they are hot!
#NationalFrittersDay
Fritters come in various forms, from morsels dipped in flavorful batters to bits of dough stuffed or filled with delicious surprises. All of the varieties are deep-fried and served hot with dips, drips, or dustings of seasonings, sweets, or sauces. Cultures all over the world make some kind of fritter. May believe Ancient Romans first consumed fritters. They then introduced them to Europe. Most commonly filled with fruit or cheese, fritters can also be filled with savory meats, seafood, and vegetables.

Fritter FAQ
Q. Are fritters sweet or savory?
A. Fritters can be either sweet or savory. The base ingredient often determines which direction the fritter leans. Potatoes, zucchini, apples, bananas, fish, corn, and cheese can all be used to make fritters.
Q. Are fritters a type of donut?
A. Fritters, especially the sweet kind, are very similar to donuts. Where donuts are usually topped with sweet additions, bakers fold ingredients into fritters. Donuts are also cut into symmetrical shapes, while fritter batter is directly dropped into the oil for cooking.
Ticking away, the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young, and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day, you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun
But it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way
But you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time has gone, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
Fritter Ping!.................
Conch fritters.......there is no substitute
Does the White House celebrate National Fritters Day? After all, Brandon and his handlers are frittering away our future...
Had fried conch in Key West!..................
Too much dough, not enuf conch. Cracked conch rules.
A neighborhood chum’s Grandma used to make succotash fritters, mixed frozen vegetables, they were pretty good she also made some really good fried chicken old style.
Conch, I’ve had abolone (#1 sliced and pounded), if conch is as chewy as abalone that’s some kind of chewy.
Conch is like gatortail.....if you cook it right it’s delish.......if you cook it wrong it can be tough and rubbery.
