Water is good for you. Not saying you should eat KFC or other salty
food, but water is good.

It just occurred to me that celery has a high salt content. Now I'm
wondering if celery seed does too and if it's one of the secret
seasonings?

Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Well that "discovered" recipe does contain lots of salt.
regular salt
celery salt
garlic salt

I'll bet it's authentic. Maybe not the final recipe but maybe what he
wrote as he was trying to perfect it. Natually, KFC is going to claim
it's not real.

Why would KFC bother with celery and garlic *salt* when all they need
is powdered dehydrated celery and garlic? Any time I see those "salt"
ingredients, I know someone who can't cook very well made it up.

Thanks for conveniently snipping the part where I said I do not want to
deep fry anything (not even hushpuppies). I leave that to restaurants.

I don't deep fry often either. Recently though I did try a recipe from
America's Test Kitchen that was spicy salt and pepper shrimp deep fried
until crisp, shells and all. I was curious as to how the shrimp would turn
out with deep frying them with the shells on, they were very good, crispy
and tasty.

I have no doubt many deep fried foods are delicious! I'm glad your
shrimp turned out so well. IMHO, deep frying is messy. And there's
always leftover (perfectly re-usable) oil. Since I'm not apt to deep
fry again for another year, it's likely to be a waste of good oil. Or a
waste of refrigerator space, something saved "just in case" I decide to
deep fry something. Not likely. But hey, that's just me.
