I make breakfast pogos. Similiar to corn dogs. You dip sausage on a stick in pancake batter and fry them, and dip them in syrup. Soooo good.

As for vegetables ... my preferred way to eat vegies is raw if possible
I'm not a health food fanatic & I do occasionally get a craving for a burger & chips or a kebab but I wouldn't dream of deep frying vegetables & I never use a fat fryer at home.

Fran, i would say its just something different on the menu, especially in some parts of Ireland which are not as culturally diverse as the big cities, which have lots of Indian, Italian and Mexican restaurants to choose from. For example, people may just choose a fried version of what they are familiar with, for example the Mars bar, instead of trying something a bit different. We have a chipper in the city called "Aarons" which specialise in deep fried mars bars! I tried one once and my guts took a week to recover.Fran wrote:I don't understand this obsession with deep frying .... I mean even Mars bars for God's sake! Why would you want to do that?
As for the originall question, im not the most adventurous when it comes to unusual foods, i tried pigs toes once and they were ok..

After reading your posts I'm beginning to think the deep fried Mars bar is the lesser of two evils.
