Fried Pickles

I am a subscriber to Food Network Magazine. I love all the recipes and information contained in each one. There is a recipe index in the beginning so finding a recipe you saw in the magazine is easily found again. Not to mention there is a picture of each recipe too.
In May's addition not only did I find some wonderful desserts and great pancake recipes but I found a little blurb that mentioned a recipe for fried pickles. Yes, I said friend PICKLES!! Now being pregnant I instantly gravitated towards this recipe. It's not that I haven't heard about this before because I"m sure some where among the fair and carnival eat's of fried Oreo's (which are amazing!) and fried candy bars I'm sure I've seen fried pickles. This recipe actually looks like it would work great for fried green tomatoes too! So straight from the Food Network Magazine and FoodNetwork.com I give you: Fried Pickles!!!
