Thinking about Gris Gris and fried eggplant tonight...

it’s one of the best bites of food I’ve ever had
thanks gris

In my opinion, the reason that eggplant comes out so good and crispy is that the flour mix she uses has cream meal in it.

Cream meal is a corn product with grains between corn meal and corn flour in size. It gives a crunchy mouth feel without being too big like corn meal may be. Cream meal is not usually available in grocery stores, but I found it at a restaurant supply in 25-pound bags. I don't need near that much, so I didn't buy any.

Some of you big-time seafood fryers who like to customize your breading, might want to give this product a try at your next cook.
