They are actually really good. This one kid brought them in at the end of school last year and... wow. Dunno if thats the right recipe though.

I saw that on Friday, Puffy.
She was frying everything. It started with the stuffing and got worse from there. I should have known she would get to the cranberry sauce eventually...

Glorious. Inspired. Uplifting even.
If she had deep fried a turducken I would have been in total wonderment.

An amusement park I worked for served these. I had them once...never again. Not that they were bad. They were delicious. I just hated myself after eating them.

The fried pumpkin cake segment was actually kinda neat. The recipe looked simple and delicious, and it featured a totally random cameo by a somewhat snippy Kermit the Frog. Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
Fried Oreos are really good. There was a bar we went to in Tucson that served them, and they were surprisingly good bar food.
Deep-fried cranberry sauce terrifies me, however. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
That cake was done. It would have been nice with just the frosting on it. Why did she have to fry it?
I'll tell you why. That woman has a compulsion. I remember when she had some family famous for their BBQ on and she had the BBQers vs the Friers, and at the end she took the barbeque and fried it! She fries EVERYTHING. I'm surprised she hasn't had a massive heart attack yet.

I love Paula Deen, and all her artery-clogging cookery. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Oh, don't get me wrong, I love her too, and most of her food makes me drool. And she seems to be just about the sweetest woman you'd ever care to meet. But I don't know how she can live with herself after frying some of the things she fries! (That's the CA girl in me coming out; I also can't fathom ever drinking whole milk and liking it, or eating chicken skin...)
Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :
Those items taken individually might be fine. But a whole meal that's deep fried? I think I'd have a stomach ache.
Posted by Sterling (Member # 8096) on :
I make Walla Walla sweet onion rings a couple of times a year. Much more deep-frying than that, I'd begin to worry for my health.

After so many years of drinking 2%, I find whole milk too rich.
But I personally know people who'd order an entire bucket of nothing -but- fried chicken skin, if they could. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I do eat a small amount of turkey skin on Thanksgiving-- but just a wee bit. And that's once a year. I occasionally will eat a nibble's worth of chicken skin from El Pollo Loco (grilled.) But NEVER do I fry chicken with the skin on (yes, I do fry chicken occasionally.) The only milk I drink is non-fat. 2% I will only use to cook with. It tastes like grease to me. Whole, don't get me started on whole. I only buy it when I'm making ice cream.

After drinking skim milk for over a decade (over half of my lifetime for some of you oldies), I can't stand the taste of whole milk. It feels like drinking cream.

My mom blames it on kindergarten indoctrination. She says she never drank skim milk until I made her buy it. However, I asked her if she would ever go back to drinking 2% and she said no Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

Oh, Yankees. Y'all would not enjoy a holiday celebration back where I grew up. We fried everything. My personal favorites are fried dill pickles and fried Snickers bars. Mmmmmmmmm.
Whole milk? To properly fry a chicken, Southern-style, you have to soak it in buttermilk for at least an hour before frying (not Kosher, btw). Eating non-buttermilk pancakes was a rude awakening for me when I first went to college. I thought someone had made really terrible crepes.
BTW, I've seen Carolina folks and Georgia folks almost come to blows over the barbecue vs. fried debate. My college friend Charles (from NC) and I had words about it, to the stunned disbelief of our Northeastern friends. In case anyone's wondering, fried is better.

A Japanese restaurant around my place serves tempura ice cream. I don't know if that counts as "fried" ice cream though.
Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :
Tempura ice cream is right in line with the fried ice cream I've seen. Ice cream, coated with some sort of batter and then deep fried fast enough that the ice cream doesn't melt.

In the US perhaps. My sister stumbled on one in Luxembourg last spring (see the end of the 3rd paragraph), and was pleasantly surprised.

Erm...I'm pretty sure buttermilk is low-fat.
As for frying, I'm getting pretty good at it myself. Since marrying my Mexican husband, I've learned to make taquitos (fried tacos), empanadas (fried meat pies), chiles rellenos (fried stuffed chiles), and more! I'm still repulsed by the idea of using chicharron (fried pork chitterlings) instead of meat, however. I've been served chicharron con salsa verde as a main dish, but, forgive me, it's NOT MEAT. It's not really food, either. It's more a heart attack in a bag.
My favorite fried goodie to make is whole-wheat fastnacht (doughnuts). Shall I post the recipe?

Deep-fried oreos are heavenly. You can hear your arteries slamming shut and the fat depositing all over your body, but they are heavenly.
Posted by theCrowsWife (Member # 8302) on :
I can't stand to drink skimmed milk of any fat percentage: whole milk all the way. And really, I'd prefer to have a higher percentage than the 3.5% or so that store milk has. Some breeds of cattle can give milk with a 6-7% butterfat content. Yum!

I don't mean to be insulting, but I think that's disgusting. I've been drinking skim milk since I was four or five and anything else makes my stomach churn like half a bottle of whisky does.
Posted by theCrowsWife (Member # 8302) on :
Not insulted. After all, I feel the same way about reduced-fat milk. Out of politeness, I can choke down 2%, but anything lower tastes so nasty that I don't even try. I grew up on 2% milk, and when I started drinking whole milk in college, there was a short transition period where it tasted very fatty. Now it just tastes normal.

I grew up with raw milk. We drank it straight for half the year. But about August, Mom used to start skimming the cream off to use for Christmas candy. She made (and makes) her own hand-dipped Chocolates. By November our milk was pretty blue, but in January it was almost yellow. I always thought pasturized milk tasted burnt. I couldn't drink it until my Uncle (Sam) insisted that I do so while in basic training.
