King's Inn Secret Recipes

Wow!

Someone sent me top secret recipes. Not sure how authentic they are. Still waiting for the avacado salad oil.

Bombay Salad Dressing from The King's Inn

1 pint sour cream
1 regular size package onion soup mix
2 large soft avocadoes mashed
2 cloves garliccurry powder, salt, lemon juice to taste

This is best if you let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving. I pour a thinnish layer of lemon juice over the top then put plastic wrap directly on it before sealing the bowl to keep it from turning brown. Then before serving I stir in the lemon juice.

Tartar Sauce

1 1/2 cup Miracle Whip (Yes, Miracle Whip)
½ tsp curry powder1 tsp garlic (jar kind is fine)
1/2 onion
1 to 2 boiled eggs
5-10 serrano peppers chopped fine (to taste)
10 Saltines

Mix the first 7 ingredients. Just prior to serving, crush the saltines, stir. You may want to adjust the egg yolks because I don’t remember using them, only the whites. The curry powder is very light, barely detectable flavor. Some people think there is bell pepper in there but I think it is just the serranos.

Coating for Fish and Shrimp

1 cup Buttermilk
1 cup crushed cornflakes

Dip fish in buttermilk and then cornflakes.
Deep fry.

Kingsville Texas

King’s Inn Texas







Things to do: Kingsville Texas

If you are ever near Kingsville Texas, do make an effort to visit this fabulous restaurant.

Established in 1945, this restaurant serves family style meals. Whenever we drive down to South Padre, we make it a point to stop there. This is a very family friendly restaurant.




The best things on their menu are:

Tartar Sauce

This is a to-die-for tartar sauce. It is so scrumptious that you can eat it by spoonfuls. Instead of salsa and chips, they serve thick slices of tomatoes. Be careful to save room for main courses!





Fried Fish


So crispy and crunchy yet melts in your mouth. Flavorful and delicious. Yummy!




Fried Shrimp

For those of you who do not have the opportunity to eat fresh, fresh shrimp, this is an absolute must.



Avocado Salad

A top secret recipe. The avocados and fresh and drizzled with a secret oil dressing. I always ask for the recipe and they always politely decline. But every trip, I know more. It takes 3 days to make the dressing! If only I knew the ingredients!
