Yes, dear, it works. Pat the chops dry and don't go overboard on the
egg wash. Fry promptly, don't let them sit about or they *will* get
soggy. In a way, they act something like panko. Try a few, to get the
feel of it and you will be rewarded. They are actually quite tasty AND
low carb. If you have access to some of the Atkins cookbooks, you will
find references, I think. I also think they can be baked rather than
fried.....
