French Fried Bananas in a New Style - Banana Scallops

The title here is the caption for these photos. Is it just me, or does the upper picture resemble a box of kitty litter a bit? Sorry.

Banana scallops are suggested as a part of a dinner menu:

Tomato Juice

Meat Patty (???)

Banana Scallops

Cauliflower

Lettuce Salad

Orange Sherbet

Crisp Cookies (as opposed to?)

Beverage (Make it a strong one with this menu)

To make the fabulous Banana Scallops:

Melted fat or oil

1 1/2 tsp. salt (Get out the defibrillator)

1 egg, slightly beaten, or 1/4 cup evaporated milk (never seen that as a substitute before)

6 firm bananas

3/4 cup fine corn flake crumbs, bread or cracker crumbs, or corn bread

Heat fat to 375F. Add salt to egg or undiluted milk. Peel bananas and slice crosswise into pieces 3/4 - 1 inch thick. Dip into egg or milk. Drain. Roll in crumbs or corn meal.

Now these actually may be tasty, but not in that menu.

Tomorrow: Banana Meat Loaf. Really - I could blog from this book for a year, but I won't. I have too many other strange ones to share! I will have to try some of these, too.
