Well, let’s go back a few years for this month. Were any of you around this area in the 70s and 80s. I was, and I remember some special restaurants and the great food they had. One of those was the Kapok Tree Inn, located on McMullen-Booth Road in Clearwater. The name was taken from the ancient Kapok tree which existed on the site and exhibited lavish blooms each year.
But I didn't go there because of the tree. I went because of the corn fritters. The rest was just a side line. So here is the original recipe. I can just taste them now!
