We visited Tennessee a while back and my husband ordered the veggie platter. We thought they’d made a mistake when the plate was covered with little brown balls. We discovered it was was cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, etc. — each piece rolled in batter and deep fried. We were hysterical! It was so funny. Not healthy, but funny.
If it wasn’t for cooking oil, okra would just be a slimey weed.
I ate fried olives the other night—they would have been great, but too much sauce. Spoiled the crunchiness!
