          Here is a bit of history that one usually finds at page end as a filler. I hope the item will bring the usual thrill of discovery, and make your day complete because it fills in your “I didn’t know that” page. 

          Onion Rings 
          This classic was born in Texas about 1928 or 1929 when the cook at the Pig Stand restaurant in Dallas accidentally dropped a sliced onion into the fried chicken batter. Instead of tossing it away he dropped it into the fryer, and it came out golden crispy. So he made some on purpose and served them to some handy customers and they turned out an instant hit. 

          A bit of historical lore that fills the page.
