a good hushpuppy is hard to find...suegyptMarch 21 2010, 13:05:27 UTC
Usually hushpuppies are the greasy, salty equivalent of the inedible sprig of parsley or the decorative underlying petticoat of lettuce for glops of chicken salad: pretty, and visually balancing the esthetics of the plate, but useless for nourishment, much less pleasure.
My daddy made decent huspuppies, but I've only had restaurant hushpuppies once that were worthy of sending praise back to the chef, in Apalachicola, FL some years ago. They were light and fluffy, full of onions and spice (not sugar!!!) and just a hint of a crunchy crust. Stole the show from the pan sauteed snapper.
Hahaha - Mister and I used to have a running joke about putt-putt golf in our salad days, something about how it topped off a romantic evening, rolling the ball past the purple gorilla, into the mouth of the blue whale...

There is something romantic about putt-putt, you know. Not sure why, big purple gorillas notwithstanding. ;)
