"Zoo sticks" are a long-time favourite appetizer at the Canadian restaurant chain, White Spot. The crispy zucchini sticks are served with cream "zoo dip" and are quite amazing.

- Coat the zucchini sticks in each shallow dish starting with the flour mixture, then the eggs and finally the bread crumbs.
