Besides, who >would want to chew a shoe? As I'm sure many folks in the southern US will tell you, hush puppies are deep fried corn meal batter. Although I'm a Northerner, I will take the liberty of posting a hush puppy recipe, straight off the Quaker white corn meal bag: HUSH PUPPIES Vegetable oil 1-1/2 cups Quaker Enriched White Corn Meal [of course, no other brand will 1/2 cup all-purpose flour work! :-)] 2 tablespoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt (optional) 3/4 cup milk 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 1 egg, beaten Heat 2-inch deep oil to 375 F. Combine remaining ingredients: mix well. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls into hot oil, frying a few at a time until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. YIELD: About 2 dozen. So, the answer to the original poster's request is: at least lacto-ovo, although I'm sure that there are vegan alternatives, which perhaps someone will post. Also, the standard caveats/warnings regarding deep fried foods & fat apply here. (personally speaking, I don't make a steady diet of fatty foods, but I do have them on occasion) - Mike -- - Mike Shawaluk "And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today ..."
