Lightly breaded, with horseradish dip.

I must try horseradish! I've been using that a lot more lately, so it
sounds good for mushrooms too.

I thnk it must have been Fridays where I had this dip with mushrooms.
It seemed to be sour cream based. Now I want some too!

The DQ nearest us in the Cleveland suburbs did very nice deep-fried
mushrooms. The local DQ here never did and thought I was nuts to ask
LOL

Seems like the DQs in the Cleveland area have been a notch above most of
the ones I've tried elsewhere.

That's only a problem if you make them yourself.
In a restaurant, they'd be cool enough to eat
by the time you get them.

I've only ever eaten them at restaurants.

For the record, since I started the thread, ditto.

I like sweet potato best but zucchini and other
squash aren't bad. You can keep broccoli tempura but the same
applies to broccoli in most shapes and forms!

Both sweet potato and broccoli tempura are very good, IMO!
Unfortunately, around here, the restaurants I eat at tend to
substitute carrot for sweet potato unless you remember to specify.
Also, I haven't met a standard American type squash I didn't like.
Well, I don't like bitter melon.... but I don't consider it standard
American either.

I love breaded fried squash, okra (that one requires cornmeal). *But fried
cheese comes to mind *There was this place in (long gone) that made cubes

great!

Deep fried Camenbert Cheese

Take a good camenbert, cut into wedges, roll in flour, dip in egg and
breadcrumbs. Back in the fridge to firm up and then deep fry quickly
until golden. Serve with a fruit sauce.

Hot on the outside and all gooey inside, and very rich. Yum

I have a Japanese sister in law and she is always telling me how she
can't do tempura. It is never crispy for her. I buy a tempura mix - I
don't remember the name, but it works really well.

I know what you mean. I'll be served something GREAT with a tempura
batter and it turns out to be from a box. Miso (soup) - same thing.
Add water to powder, tastes just like what you'd get in a restaurant.

OK, maybe it's because I don't eat in those places.

I don't live in suburbia. making sign of the cross God forbid I am
ever reduced to living in a bedroom community with endless shopping
malls filled with chain stores. Shudder Hubby tried for years to get
me to move to Sacramento. Couldn't do it. Too many malls and too
much bedroom community blandness. I had to go straight into the heart
of downtown to find anything that didn't scare me half to death. But
charming as it was - it was still surrounded by all those cookie
cutter housing tracts and malls. UGH! Ugh, ugh.

Didn't think about it.

And the last two or three times I've come on - in the usual threeish-hour
sweet spot of 10PM to 1AM my time, there's been nobody there but Elise The
Silent and Nagger.

It's been unusually dull there lately, even last weekend. You must
have scared the other fish away.

Perhaps. The pseudo-ice cream they serve seems to be equally bad
everywhere.
