Unusual Fried Food - Idea Needed

I'm still thinking of the whole avocado route... I'm assuming youve already got an easy way of peeling it. This idea would be a kind of riff on cobb salad. What about-- slice in half and remove the seed (if you use a Florida avocado, shake it and if you can hear/feel the pit rattling around, not only is it ripe to eat, but that much easier to remove the seed). Use some sort of blue cheese mix-- maybe with green onion and sundried tomato heated in some bacon fat and crumbled bacon mixed in-- in the space left from the seed, then piece the 2 halves back together using toothpicks. Then, after reading the suggestions above, sort of truss the two halves together by weaving strips of bacon along the toothpicks, like tying up a corset. Use a tempura batter on the whole thing, or just deep fry without breading, but really, isnt everything better when its battered and deep fried??

I think the bacon in the seed-hole (or even is shrimp paste i sincluded) needs to be cooked as an avocado is pretty darn big and you really wouldnt expect it to get that hot all the way in there
