Who in the world invented these!?

It appears someone REALLY took some time experimenting with a deep fryer and fried so many things...

-Deep fried Oreo's
-Deep fried... ICE CREAM!?
-Deep fried Twinkies
-Deep fried Snickers bar
-Deep fried Watermelon
-Deep fried Cheeseburger
-Deep fried Doughnuts

Now some of my family members make this because every person seems to own their own deep fryer, and it is just so appalling to see them eat like this. I appear to be the only one that would eat like a normal human being, while they would fry their food. It sounds like a trip to a diabetic coma and heart attack city.

    It's crazy...I have never actually tasted these items, but I see the ' deep fried oreos' at carnivals and festivals. The whole idea doesn't really sound appetizing to me.

    Well, I must confess to having deep fried ice cream years ago (it was actually wrapped in something like filo pastry and fried very, very quickly - surprisingly not greasy) but I don't think I'd consider shoving it down my gullet now.

    mm deep fried oreos = pretty freaking delicious. So sweet though can only have one max two. Not that they are good for you or healthy.

    These are foods that are born of county fairs, trades days, expositions, etc. They are novelty items not meant for regular consumption. Just like the Ice Cream cone was born of a state fair, so are ALL these foods.

    Google "Deep Fried Bacon TX"

    Can't believe I'm admitting this but Deep Fried Twinkies and Snickers bars are soooooooo good! You can only eat like half of one cause they're so rich but they are pretty tasty. :tongue:

    Yes, I would totally eat one of these, then log it and run my *kitten* off afterwards in payment :)

    I worked at a restaurant that would serve deep fried ice cream, they called it Mexican Fried Ice Cream. You douse it with whipped cream and honey or hot carmel. I learned how to make it and it is rather delicious, but I don't think I would eat it again, unless I could share with 3 other people. I did try deep fried twinkie just because I was curious. Also tasty, but not something that I will eat again.

    I'd be totally lying if I said I never tried all the random deep fried things at the Texas State Fair. Ahhh the south. Home of deep fried bacon, deep fried butter, deep fried salsa (omg that one was AMAZING), deep fried marshmallows, and so much more.

    And OH YEAH that Mexican Fried Ice Cream is THE BOMB. So delicious. So bad for you, but sooo delicious.

    I've had the deep fried Oreos before, was pretty tasty and I actually had deep fried icecream about a month ago at a Thai restaurant. It was very yummy although I still can't figure out how they did it with out melting the ice cream. LOL :laugh:

    I've had deep fried Snickers, Reeses, Twinkies, etc...

    Deep fried snickers is easily my favorite dessert. I only have once a year. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

    Guess I'm not a normal human being....oh well. I'll enjoy the occassional treat every now and then. I'll still be healthy too!

    One of my favorite meals to make at home is Chicken Fried Steak smothered in homemade gravy. Soooo good.

    I haven't tried any of those things, not going to either! I would be afraid of starting a new bad habit. :laugh: Honestly though the only thing that sounds like it might be good to me is the oreo.

    I was thinking southerners! Fried Ice Cream is not necessarily "southern," tho. I have tried the oreos and found it to be too sweet and didn't really care for it.

    I have seen a recipe for "Clean Country Fried Steak" (for the above poster). Look it up!! even has a mushroom gravy recipe :)

    Curious about the deep fried salsa also!

    how do you deep fry salsa?

    It's basically salsa and corn masa rolled together into a ball and deep fried. They give you queso to dip it in. Probably the one of most delicious things of all time.

    Deep fried cheesecake is really good. The best deep fried thing I've had is milk. I got it at a local All you can eat sushi joint and I ate 5-6 of them. Amazing. There's a lot of other good fried stuff that's awesome. Takes some skill to deep fry certain things and use it right. I thought deep fried mayo on Top Chef was gross.

    I know someone who is working on deep-fried beer (somehow there will be a sort of donut hole w liquid beer center). Sounds gross, but this person is just up for the challenge. You can't deny that deep-frying stuff does make it tasty (thinking of Indian vegetable pakora - drool!)
