millet, thanks for that recipe, it sounds superb… a good reason to test my deep fryer that has been wallowing in the pantry for years…I just can’t get myself to use that much fresh oil in one go! :)

Bloomin Onions are quite easy to do, actually…slice the onions vertically into 8 sections about 4/5 of the way..make sure the wedges are still attached to the root end. soak the whole thing in ice water for about 30 minutes. make sure you do this in a big bowl so that “petals” have room to “bloom”. heat up lots of oil in a deep fryer, drain the onion and shake off all the excess liquid, dip in batter (the standard tempura or calamares fritos batter will do), and deep-fry in very hot oil till golden. (i think some people add anothert layer of carbs by spinkling some corn meal on top of the battered onion, just to be sure). these are good with a blue cheese and sour cream dip, or sour cream and chives, just in case you need to top up the cholesterol max for the week.

I’ve seen it called both Bloomim’ Onion and Awesome Blossom. Ria’s right — Outback has it. I really enjoy it (as I do most crunchy, fried food), except after a while the coating gets soggy and there’s always a part left that no one wants to eat.
