One of my favorite foods of all time is fried zucchini.  When I was little, I remember my mom dredging slices of zucchini in seasoned flour and frying them in a skillet as a special treat in the summer.  I used to be an unreasonably picky eater and would not touch a zucchini with a ten foot pole.  Luckily, as I got older, my tastes changed and I realized that I was missing out!
