fried squash blossoms

Post #1 - July 19th, 2005, 2:26 pmI felt like cheese-stuffed, battered and fried flor de calabaza, but I didn't come across any in a few stops. Instead, I got a large can of blossoms at Jimenez Carniceria (Fullerton near Pulaski).
Here they are, drained, battered (egg-based) and fried, with grated Chihuahua cheese and Fiesta's very good ensalada de nopales (cactus salad).
Cheers,
WadeLast edited by waderoberts on July 19th, 2005, 5:44 pm, edited 1 time in total."Remember the Alamo? I do, with the very last swallow."

Post #2 - July 19th, 2005, 5:01 pmThere were (small) platic zip loc bags full of fresh ones at Cermak Produce at Cicero and Diversey on Saturday. They also had a shipment of fresh favas.

Post #3 - July 21st, 2005, 3:26 pmThe Cermak Produce at the northwest corner of Cicero and Diversey (two standard blocks south of Wellington) also had squash blossoms when we stopped in on July 2. I have not seen any squash blossoms at the much larger Cermak Produce store at 4234 North Kedzie, though. We shop there frequently, and I looked very carefully when we were in there on Wednesday. The Kedzie store has a more diverse clientele (albeit with a lot of Mexicans) and carries many products that the Diversey and Cicero store couldn't possibly fit in but apparently no squash blossoms.
