Fried food

Took a hiatus from the healthy eating for one night. I made some shrimp
tempura with some very nice jumbo shrimp. There was batter left over so
I quickly sliced an onion to cook up with it. I had duck sauce to dip
the shrimp in, jarred, not homemade, but it was still good. Yum yum yum.

Normal folks don't *love* onion rings slathered in mayo. Normal folks
may eat a few onion rings very occasionally, with a little salt. Your
weight must vacilate between 400-500 pounds. They don't call sf's ass
the Bermuda onion triangle for nothing. :)

You'd be surprised at how many people eat onion rings with tartar
sauce! I thought I was one of the few, but it turned out I was one of
the many. Mayonnaise on french fries is what doesn't appeal and I've
eaten Belgian style fries. http://www.frjtzfries.com/

Fried foods cooked at the proper temperatures do NOT absorb much of the
fats they are fried in.Lard is NOT used in commercial fryers!! It burns
too quickly. Only top grade vegetable oils are used in Fryers.

sf,

I never liked deep-fried onion rings since way back. When taking a bite,
usually the whole ring of onion would slither out of the coating. I
considered that bad form.

I remember French fries with mayo and a Big Mac for breakfast, in
Amsterdam. A little too rich for my blood, but I had to try it. I
admired their "anything goes for breakfast" attitude!!! It was probably
done as a courtesy to the stoners and prostitutes!

Now about your Belgian frites... some of the dipping sauces are just
flavored mayos. I'd want to try them all. Not just the one or two. Great
looking restaurant (cafe?). Beautiful decor and spacious thanks to the
high ceilings!

Best,

Andy

I'd imagine that the sauces used with Japanese Tempura would work well.
There really are tempura onion rings and they are a lot less greasy than
standard onion rings. I will admit that my favorite tempura food is
sweet potato.

Mi favorites are zucchini, but then I prefer to bathe them in beaten eggs
and breadcrumbs, way better than tempura ;)

I have seen TV cooking shows about tempura and heard about how great it
was. I have had it several times in restaurants, including several
Japanese restaurants, and I have to say that I have never been impressed.

Me too: somehow, it has too much texture when compared to the flavor.
Egg-wash and breadcrumbs is the opposite, way more flavor than texture but
it still has crunchiness. For eggwash + breadcrumbs, my favorites are
zucchini, eggplant, sliced chicken breast, and little mozzarella balls
called "ciliegine" (little cherries) and pumpkin flowers, but also fresh
sardines and croquettes... And I'm sure I'm forgetting something along :)

You've just reinforced what I've said for many years, the Japanese
have the least appetizing cuisine on the planet.

I don't think I've ever had green pepper tempura. Gonna have to try
that next time. I like green beans and sweet potato.

I also make pickled jalapeno rings tempura style. Good with cheese
dip. Not very Japanese, but good.
