Deep fried Heaven!
Being wheat intolerant meant that 99% of deep fried goodies were out. No onion rings, chicken wings, deep fried zuchinni or tempura battered veggies (from restaurants). Well, last night we threw out all the rules and WOW, what a meal we had.
Out came the deep fryers and the corn starch based tempura batter. BTW – tempura was originally made with only rice flour! There was and is no need to add wheat flour!!!
We enjoyed deep fried and BATTERED onion rings (awesome), zuchinni (to die for), and mushrooms (hmm, turned soggy really fast, but tasted just like the old Dairy Shack in Oak Lake, Manitoba used to make). We enjoyed salt & pepper breaded chicken wings (no wheat, thank you) that tasted unbelievable with a little plum sauce. The deep fried potato chips were crispy and yummy (once the second fryer was retired).
So cholestral won last night and our taste buds were sated! The smell of cooking oil in the house was worth the awesome goodness that breaded veggies and chicken wings can bring.
BTW – those banana splits were fit for kings. Bananas, strawberries, 3 kinds of ice cream, 3 kinds of sauces, sprinkles, whipped cream . . . oh my waistline!!!!!
Stellar! The onion rings (first batch) were literally the best I’ve ever had – and I’m not committed to this wheat free thing, just an interested sideliner and participant due to family.
I retweeted your tweet earlier and posted one with this URL – this site has the potential to be a great resource for so many people – I’ll be spreading the word!
Death by oil! The ice cream sounds awesome.
