Have a look, some incredible Madeira photos and a few other beneath there. Also, if you've ever wondered if I do FTLOP full time OR what else I do to support my family ... the Blog goes into detail.

I was thinking deep fried lard should be next. The question is does it pair better with Port, Madeira, or a Douro wine :lol:

There's a guy at the Texas State Fair who does deep fried beer... why not deep fried Port?

You might be on to something if he tries it with basic tawnies & rubies. You'd probably need a safe room, though, as ports higher alcohol content might not agree with blazing hot oil.

With virtually four hours of sleep per night, when I get back to my motel room and "process the day" ... all I can think of is a great glass of Port but rarely get to do that. I might have to change that this year so I can be ready for Portugal. [cheers.gif]
