    Oh man! We do a lot fried foods don't we?! haha

    But its sooooooo good! I stay away but sometimes ... YOU CAN'T ... and SHOULDN'T! HA!

    I know when and if I get to go, at the state fair, they do fried beer :drinker: , fried oreos, fried bread like a funnel cake.

    And how they fry the beer or coke? They freeze it first and then fry it fast! No joke, its the craziest thing!!!!!

    Fried koolaid , bubblegum, oreos, Pretty much anything and everything you can put on a stick you will find at the state fair haha
  • I've seen it, but I've never had it before. They make some sort of batter out of it and then deep fry it lol.

    I've not been to the US yet but I'm in Scotland and we have deep fried Mars Bars. I tried one once and it was not a pleasant experience :sick:

    We also have deep fried pizzas, known as a pizza crunch, they can actually be quite nice if done properly and not too greasy. Pretty much everything gets deep fried at chip shops here, haggis, king ribs etc

    ^^^ this, because the USA does not have a monopoly on weird fried foods!

    never tried deep fried mars bar or deep fried pizza. In Saudi though, a takeaway which called itself "London Fish and Chips" in spite of selling USA style french fries and not proper chip shop chips, was selling deep fried cheesecake. Maybe that was an attempt to seem genuinely British after the french fries. (Have to say though, their battered fish did taste very British though... kudos to them for that...)

    ETA: they didn't sell mushy peas either

    Texas State Fair has the most....ummm....creative fried foods every year. Fried Thanksgiving Dinner, fried Cuban sandwiches, fried butter, fried Coke, fried EVERYTHING. The menu changes every year.

    Oh, and OP, it's eaten, not ate. Thank you for allowing me to get my inner Grammar Nazi out of my system early for today. :flowerforyou:

    There's a restaurant in New York (I think) that will deep fry whatever you bring in.
    But my favorite is deep fried tacos from Jack in the Box. Sooooo bad for you, but sooo good after a night of drinking!

    Deep Fried Guinness!!!!



    There is also a steak place I go to that makes deep fried cheese cake and serves it fresh out the fryer with home made vanilla ice cream in a big glass bowl. Probably d245777abca64ece2d5d7ca0d19fddb6.png calories but is well worth it

    I tend not to eat the crazy deep fried foods, but I've seen-

    Deep fried butter, deep fried Snickers and every other kind of candy bar, deep fried Twinkies, deep fried Oreos, a variety of sandwiches, a lot of restaurants sell deep fried vegetables as an appetizer, like zucchini. I'm sure there are more inventive things too, I haven't been to a fair for a while.

    Fried Oreos should be on everyones bucket list. You have to try it at least once in your life. Be warned however, they can be addicting!!

    Every year when the Canadian NAtional Exhibition rolls round in toronto the silly season starts
    Deep Fried Butter
    Deep Fried Coke or Root Beer
    Deep Fried Ice Cream
    Deep Fried PB&J
    Deep Fried Mac and Cheese

    and outside the dep fried
    The Krispy Creme Burger - For $8, the doughnut burger comes with American cheddar cheese, tomato and lettuce. An extra $2 will top off your sandwich with a fried egg and bacon.

    Oh and Bacon - Candied, Chocolate Coated, Wrapped around anything and everything

    If you ate just one of every ridiculous offering on your trip aside from getting sick you'd take in enough calories most years to gain 3-4 pounds in a day (the KK burger alone is 1550 calories)

    Usually I have a large Pogo and that's it (though I did have a deep fried mars bar and yep disgusting)

    EDIT - and I LOVE LOVE Deep Fried Dill Pickles with a creole dipping sauce the gas station nearest my house sells them (along with killer BBQ)

    Fried ice cream. Freeze a ball of vanilla ice cream until it's really hard, roll it in crushed corn flakes, freeze again. Fry quickly just to make the corn flakes crunchy. Top with chocolate sauce and enjoy.

    Below is an actual Facebook post from my sister, who hosted a "Fried Food Party" on Sunday night... I didn't get invited. At first, I was a little offended, but now I'm grateful that they saved me the inevitable heart attack... lawdy, I could almost feel my arteries clogging reading the post...

    "Had a GREAT time tonight with friends and family, doing what we do - cooking and eating! This time it was fried foods. You name it, we fried it. From chicken and fish to hot dogs, bacon and corn dogs, from broccoli and cauliflower to Brussels sprouts and pickles, mushrooms, bread dough (elephant ears) and bloomin' onions... we even fried snickers bars, twinkies and ho-ho's ... Those didn't turn out quite as we had planned LOL"
