I hesitate to admit that I have never deep fried anything because of a
childhood trauma but that doesn't stop me when someone offers
something deep fried to me Your avocado recipe sounds fantastic. I
have made luncheon salads in the same manner without frying, of
course. We put avocadoes in everything, sandwiches of any sort,
salads, use them instead of mayo, make sure the dogs get enough <g>.,
wild chickens love them as do the wild pigs. Sprinkle them with a
little salt and pouring ketchup in the middle are two basic favorites.
I'll have one for dinner and think of you all at rec.food.cooking.
