Beer-Battered Fried Avocado Wedges

Iowahorse's Note:

A snazzy way to play with avocados *UPDATE* Some have said it's kinda mild and I agree. I came up with this originally for a cpl. fambly members who like it that way. BUT, I just now (02/24/2012) added the creole seasoning to help perk it up a bit. I hope this helps some of ya'll to enjoy it more and for those that like it mild just kinda ignore the creole addition. Have a good day peeps.

Very good. The key is to let the batter sit

Neither my husband or I really cared for this. He loves avocado too, so it suprised me. Since a previous review said that the batter was a little bland, I added a lot of hot sauce, but it still was bland. The batter was super thick too...I don't know if it was supposed to be though. It was interesting to try though!

VERY YUMMY! I served mine with a spicy jalapeno cheese sauce.
