This is an old recipe from my great grandmother Sullivan (she gave the recipe to my grandmother Mabel Kennedy Sullivan). With a big family like Great Grandmother Sullivan had... you use everything you can and don't waste anything! (She had at least 15 children!!). This is good at every meal time... and snacking... Eat it as is... or with a favorite dip, salsa or pasta sauce.

Beat together the milk and egg coating. Set aside.
Step 4

Heat the cooking oil, about 4 -6 inches deep in a sauce pan or deep fryer.

Dip the melon rind into milk and egg mixture, then in the flour. Back into the milk, then into the bread crumbs.

Fry in the oil about 2 minutes or until tender and golden brown. Remove from oil and place on paper towel lined dish. Taste... if it needs more salt and pepper, do so to taste. Serve hot.
