Unusual food

Post by Bighuey »

I heard about a resturant today that specializes in fried food. They deep-fry everything, Oreo cookies, Twinkies, cup cakes, apples, peaches, peanut butter and hamburger sandwiches. Their specialty is a 4 pound hamburger on a 13 inch bun deep-fried. They even have fried Kool-Aid. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?

The best way is to eat at home.
Undoubtedly,you may eat more delicious food out.
But it may damage your health.

I agree, deep fried peanut butter sandwichs dont appeal to me either.

When I lived in Florida there was a vegetarian restaurant that would batter and fry any veggie. My favourite was asparagus.

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.

There was a place when I lived in Utah that sold these little tacos, they came in about 20 to a package, they were frozen. They wernt all that good but my wife would deep-fry them and they were delicious that way. I dont think Oreo cookies sound very good deep-fried but I might try it sometime just for the Hell of it. If you dont hear from me you will know I poisoned myself.

I don't think that such food is really healthy for the people. They say that all kinds of fried food unhealthy. :(

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 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.

I like deep-fried chicken, pork chops that sort of thing but deep-fried cookies and candy bars kind of turn me off. Barf.

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.

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..

My wife liked pigs feet and I used to tell her, Just think about it, what do pigs walk in? But it didnt seem to bother her, she would just give me the finger.

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