TGI Friday's restaurant now has a appetizer that is deep fried green
beans, coat them in a starchy/crispy coating, fry 'em up in oil, dip 'em
in wasabi!!!! Served by the HUGE basket full ... uh, they're pretty
good, actually ... Rainbow

KFC here has been adversing a bowl of mashed potatoes layered with
fried chicken nuggets and corn, topped with cheese and finished off
with gravy. Makes me want to puke, but I suppose their market research
found there are those who would buy and consume it.

Fried veggies are pretty good though. I like them done Indian style
(pakora??), served with cilanto chutney.

Yes, I've seen that advertised. It looks pretty terrible to me, even if
it was the good old days, it still looks bad, but I don't like KFC.

I liked KFC, but I sure can't figure out where that combination comes
from! Blech! LOL!

The things that come to those who wait will
be the things left by those who got there first.

It reminds me of kids I have seen who stick all their meal
bits into mashed potato to make it more palatable

I can remember, years ago, eating deep fried zucchini sticks. Tres
yummy, they were!

Green beans are good in tempura, too, as are asparagus, bell pepper, and
broccoli.
