"It?s actually been going on for a few years, a significant number of

?Frying whole turkeys is sort of the Southern version of making
fondue. You have a lot of your friends over, you poke around in a pot

Louisiana in the 1930s. Most recently, John Martin Taylor, another
Southern boy and promoter of Southern cooking as Hoppin' John, has
been touring the country to promote his `The Fearless Frying Cookbook'
(Workman, $10.95). In the process of demonstrating the joys of frying,
Hoppin' John often drops a turkey into a bubbling caldron.?
