Seasoned with black pepper, basil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper. Topped and mixed in some romaine lettuce with yellow mustard and grated Parmesan and Romano cheese.

Fried Oysters – Breading comparison
I recently saw a recipe that used ground-up Rice Cakes as a breading for frying.
So . . . . .
Oysters, drained & patted to minimize moisture.
Breading:
AP Flour – base
Egg wash
Breadings: 1) Panko, 2) Corn meal, 3) Rice cakes (ground up in food processor)
Frying:
Peanut oil at 385°F
Oyster batches: 2 min. fry; 2 min. drain
French fries: 5 min. fry; 2 min. drain

1) Panko overall best taste & crunch.
2) Corn meal best crunch, less taste.
3) Rice cakes poor 3rd. (Anyone want a partial bag of rice cakes ? )

Rice cakes can be good with cinnamon or peanut butter

Not a chance! Do people actually eat those things on purpose?

When I was a kid, I used to like toast w/ lots of butter, then sprinkled w/ a mixture of cinnamon & sugar.

Yeh, even when I bought them, I wasn't sure they would be any good: 0 Fat; 0 Salt; etc, etc

My mother used to buy those to feed to us on long car trips when we were traveling while we were kids. I’m not sure I ever ate a whole one, if that was the only available snack, I preferred to starve.

My grandmother used to make that for us on occasion, that brings back some memories!

Actually instead of Rice Cake breading, I think even Kellogg's Rice Crispy's would have been better . . . . . but not good enough.

That sounds very southern. Like, the part of the south my family hails from. Southern fried chicken breaded with crushed pork rinds and fried in lard. Just add a little bacon on the side and you’re good to go!

@JD3000 Do you have a recommended brand of pork rinds ?
There is a huge variation in those that I have tried.
Some are crunchy - good.
Others are puffy with no texture - no good.
