FRIED PARSLEY
This is from New Orleans food critic and cookbook author Tom Fizmorris. It is a recipe that was served around the city for many years. It was generally served in a basket and they called it "French popcorn". There are two tricks. First, if you have previously used oil (particularly oil that you have fried chicken in) use it. Second, the curly-leaf parsley is very important because it holds the batter better.

FRIED PARSLEY IN BREAD BOUQUETS
Steps:
- Cut the parsley into long sprigs of equal length. Be sure there is no surface moisture on them or they will spit nastily when they hit the hot oil.
- Using a clean coping saw or other small, fine saw, cut the bread sticks into 3/4-inch lengths. Keep cutting until you have about twice as many sections as you have plates to garnish.
- Holding a 1/4-inch twist drill with your fingers, carefully drill out the center of each bread section so that it becomes a miniature "neckerchief slide."
- Carefully insert the stems of a few parsley sprigs in each "slide" using as many sprigs as you need to make a snug-fitting bouquet of them.
- To fry, simply drop these bouquets, a few at a time, into hot (370-degree) oil for about 10 seconds. Remove, drain, salt and serve as a garnish.
