Great post!

Wonder what egg-head thought of putting egg in a title of a food that contains no egg!  LOLOL 

That Black & White sounds kind of like an Italian soda.

I like the one my son drinks.  Although I usually am not a big Dr. Pepper fan (don't shoot me, I know Dr. Pepper is BIG in Texas and Louisiana).  You take 1/8 cup cream, 1/8 cup vanilla syrup, crushed ice and a Dr. Pepper. It is actually tasty.

Hey Mart, I am sure you have served Fried Skillet Corn being in the south.  Bacon drippings in your cast iron skillet, fresh corn off the cobb, pepper and if you are like us...a little jalapeno!  YUUUUMMMMMM!!!!

if this is a sample of what you eat.....i would,nt want to be using the loo..after you.....

[mart]

Wimp !!!

Wow Bigwull Hide one Mannequin  and let the loo empty into one wall after construction and ya never live it down!!    But we Love ya!!
Southern Fired corn looks fab is that all to the recipe?

[KC]

Just pokin' fun.  Amazing what we remember about each other after long times on this site! 

This is a simple southern recipe. Add anything else you want to with it.  You can add diced red pepper, minced garlic.

If you want to make it "Mexican Style" you simply saute some chopped onion and chopped green chilies.  Toss in the corn and cook a little longer.  Remove it from the heat and add a chunk of cream cheese and let it melt in and add salt and pepper to taste.

It is Amazing KC what we remember about each other after long times on this site!! And we all poke fun at each other That's what makes it so much fun!! Mex style sounds so good soon as I get some fresh corn this is going in my skillet!!

[mart]

And crumble that cooked bacon over the top that you fried to get the drippings !!

My southern (slightly South of Seattle) version of the S'rn fried corn dish is :

Prepare tempura batter with a pinch of salt & pepper & several generous pinches of dry wasabi & chill .
Remove the husks from fresh corn-on-the-cob , wash well , cut into 1/3 rds & let 'em get up to room temp .
Dip corn into batter & gently set (on end) into hot oil & cook for about 3 min.

Serve with soy or tamari sauce .

[mart]

Well that's one I wouldn`t have thought about !! Sounds good though !!  Do you make your tempura batter with flour, cornstarch or both ??

[fancypants]

I use both rice & all-purpose (or cake flour) flour together , mart .
No cornstarch in my tempura !

I'll sometimes stick bamboo skewers firmly into the end (core) of the little suckers , if tasked with a big crowd ... makes the in & outta the oil handy .

That sounds fascinating fancypants.  We have southern corn fritters here...which is way more labor intensive! 

[fancypants]

I call 'em cobsicles (when on a skewer) !
