Hi ArtemisIII-I don’t blame you at all. That would absolutely scar me for life!

Yes, it was. My finger was in a cast for weeks, and took ages for the skin to grow back.

I won’t be doing any shallow frying or deep frying in the near future, that is for sure.

I actually have a problem with deep frying as well.. Never used to untl last year when a whole vat of boiling fell on my feet, arms and hands. It was terrible. I went to the hospital for it.

My finger got the worst of it as my skin started to blister and fall off almost immediately.. It was really scary.

Hi Forager-Thankyou! They’re not exactly like them taste wise but I am pretty happy with them! Oh your poor dad, did your dad own a restaurant? I always wished my parents did

Hi Jeff-Thankyou! And LOL I love the way you describe it as “hisses acts generally pissed off”. That’s it exactly. You poor thing-the incident with the grill sounds scary!

I could not even tell they were not deep fried because they have the nice golden deep fried brown.

I use to have a fear of grilling after a grill took off my eyebrows and front of hair. Deep frying can be scary especially if it is heavy water item because it just pops, hisses, and acts generally pissed off.

nicely done!

Ah these look beautiful – just like the ones from Ottoman Cuisine! Will definitely have to try this.

I hate frying too and avoid it like the plague – especially when I see the “authentic” burn marks on my father’s forearms from restaurant cooking!

Hi FFichiban-Oh you can easily leave the olives out But wow, I thought you liked everything! Thanks yes it’s scarred me for life!

Hi grace-Sadly me too! So I always order something if only for the texture contrast (or so my excuse goes ). Thankyou!

Hi Jenny-Yes the food there was amazing wasn’t it! You’re welcome!

Hi Pigpigscorner-Thankyou! Yes I like something sweet to end a meal but snacks are usually savoury

Hi Cate O’Malley -thanks it definitely is!

Hi Yas-Mine too! I even ate them when he said they were snake

Hi The Duo Dishes-Oh yes empanadas are a great taste sensation! I love the singular olive in the middle too!

Hi Jenn-Wonderful! If you do I’d love to know what you think of it!

Hi Leela-Yup I am too. Oh great! Next time I make them I’m going to do them baked then! Ahh yes a good excuse to eat them quickly huh? Not a problem!

Hi Taiko-Hmm good question! I think you could perhaps do without a fruit as I can’t really think of another fruit like it. Apart from maybe Yuzu segments perhaps? I don’t know if they would work but they’re refreshing!
