Okay, the Spencer method for fish cookery notwithstanding, the  
question that is begged is, where does one find the world's biggest  
hush puppies, and does fried cornmeal batter possess the tensile  
strength (sans gluten, remember -- or does one add wheat flour for  
gluten?) to support itself in large, heavy structures? How long do  
you have to fry an 80-pound hush puppy ;-) ?

Discuss...
