There used to be a restaurant on the way up to Sandia Peak...that had
really good fried mushrooms, artichokes (hearts?) and I forget what
else. Maybe zucchini..... Whatever, they mixed them all together and
you got a platter of the fried vegetables. Man, I thought they were
divine..

I think the restaurant is now gone... I wanted to go back and have a
plate of those ...but then someone told me that the place was now
defunct.

Darn.

The only deep-fried vegetables that I eat (sparingly) are cooked
Japanese Tempura style. I've never seen mushrooms tempura and I suppose
some preliminary cooking would be needed but probably onion rings, which
I have seen, require some work other than just frying. I may have
mentioned it before but, of all tempura vegetables, 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!


I love sweet potato tempura too! I have never seen deep fried mushrooms
either, but they might make decent tempura.
I'll do tempura at home every now and again. I usually do sweet
potatoes, zucchini, broccoli, and pickled jalapeno slices. Oh, and
sometimes green beans and shrimp for the kid and for the DH.

i'll put in a vote for green beans also.

Add deep fried pickles to the list and those are very tasty. Add sauerkraut
balls, okra, green tomatoes and some cauliflower to the list of course.
Heck, in the South, if you can cut it to bite size then batter it, flour it,
or cornmeal it and fry it, it's a hit.

o.k., the sauerkraut balls are a new one on me.

My son is home from college next week, so he will be wanting some real
food. Tempura and potstickers are favorites of his....can't wait to try
the green peppers on him.

Doesn't ring a bell.
There used to be a place up there called Bella Vista which only seemed
to do fried fish and fried chicken with (what else) fries and coleslaw.
All you can eat with a nice view as bonus. That went belly up years ago.

Have eaten at 'High Finance' up on the Peak, but not the Mexican-type
place 'Sandiago's'.

Add water to powder, tastes just like what you'd get in a restaurant.

I would give anything for a "good" hot/sour soup mix.

Don't overlook dill pickle spears. Actually, they are quite good.

You're kidding! They've been commonplace in most places I've lived. Other
favorites are breaded and deep fried zuchinni, cucumber, pepper strips,
whole green beans and others. Several restaurants we used to frequent back
in Ohio offer a mixed platter of all these goodies as an appetizer, served
with various dips. Yummy, and half healthy...the veggies, not the deep

As far as I know, both the Outback and Bennigans chains have fried
mushrooms on their appetizer menus.

If you find one, let me know. I love it too!

Years ago, when I bought Kentucky Fried Chicken here in Oz, they used to
sell small deep fried mushrooms, also Sweetbreads as well... My late wife
and I always bought them for a snack.... I don't remember seeing them still
whenever I have gone into a Kentucky Fried outlet...

They were delicious...including those little Lambs Testicals as well!

I don't recall seeing either in KFC in the US, but then I wouldn't expect
to see sweetbreads on any fast food menu here. Few restaurants of any type
offer sweetbreads. I like them, but have never had them from lamb, only
veal.

Years ago I worked for a brief time for a very exclusive department store
that had an employee's cafeteria without equal. They often had scrambled
brains with eggs for breakfast, and they were delicious. This is also a
dish that is rarely found in the US.

Apologies, Wayne...When I read your post just now, It suddenly came to
me...It wasn't Kentucky Fried, it was a now defunct one...'Homestead' fried
Chicken.... It had a large chain of stores in the 70's and was still around
up to not many years ago in reduced numbers of stores..... It may have been
'bought up' by Kentucky though as they occupied the store immediately where
we used to go down to from home..
