Well, hi ya! How are you faring today. I'm really glad you clicked by. Fill your mug with some freshly brewed coffee and nudge a virtual treat onto your plate, why don't'cha? Say...have you been out raking leaves? Well don't throw them out! Read this...
They say everything tastes better deep fried, but who’d
have ever guessed that also applies to maple leaves? Well, the dish is
real – it’s called Maple Tempura and it’s a fall delicacy in Japan.
Surprisingly, it isn’t just made by picking up random fallen leaves and
frying them. There’s actually an elaborate process involved in making
these sweet, golden snacks.
To prepare Maple Tempura, the leaves are carefully selected
and preserved in salt barrels for over a year. Then, they’re removed
from the salt and dipped in a batter made from flour, sesame seeds and
sugar. These batter-coated leaves are then deep fried for over 20
minutes, until crisp.
Well I'll be hornswoggled! I'd never of thought of that, would you? Hey...where are you going with that rake and deep fryer? C'mon back here. Your coffee'll get cold!
See ya, eh!

In case the Japanese run out of maple leaves, we can round up a ton of them for only...let's say, oh...a dollar a piece...or three for five. How's that for international marketing. eh?
