Deep-fried foods I have eaten

I'll give Texas the BBQ title and UT/Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl.

Tell those good ol' boys down there to bring it! Minnesota and us love a good challenge! ;D

 

I have been to one twice in my hometown. Once, has the Pot Roast Burger, which was excellent. Then, the Fish & Chips. My wife was along for the second visit and had a guacamole burger. She liked it a lot.

Best thing: Unlimited fries. What a country!

 

I was in the Twin Cities for college, and only once did I make it to the State Fair. The most notable things I had were fried gator (pretty good) and cheese on a stick (incredibly strange; I was expecting something along the lines of a mozzarella stick, but it was basically cheez wiz inside a corn dog exterior -- I still feel like the state of Minnesota owes me a decade of my life).

 

Four pages of deep-fried talk, and absolutely no mention of frog legs? I ate those for the first time when I was really little. Very high quality meat.

And what's with everyone thinking alligator is weird? Half the restaurants I go to have fried alligator as an appetizer. And nobody's had fried quail? What about fried corn on the cob, chicken livers, and chicken gizzards? Corn nuggets - also called corn fritters, as a previous poster noted - are otherworldly when done correctly.

I also noticed somebody said their fried okra "oozed" when they cut it open. That's not fried okra done the way it's supposed to be done. That's more like boiled or pickled okra somebody tried to pass off as fried.

The three best foods on the face of the planet are ...
1.Fried catfish
2.Fried crappie
3.Fried chicken
Honorable mention - fried porkchops, oysters, shrimp, crawfish, scallops, clams, softshell crabs, bream. Bass is even pretty good.

The best way to cook steak is chicken fried steak, not T-bone or ribeye or "New York strip" and all that other crap.

Most of the places around here sell deep-fried turkeys at Thanksgiving and Christmas (also sell turduckens, I don't know if they fry them upon request, though). Fried whole turkeys are good.

 

TP, I was in Santa Cruz just this last weekend and ate my first fried Twinkie on the boardwalk. Had not been there in several years. The Twinkie was OK...the boardwalk and the town were awful. Dirty town, rude people. I was quite surprised.

 

Something tells me you've been frog gigging a time or two yourself. I was giving you a thumbs up until the comment about the steaks. I see no other way to eat a steak than grilled medium-rare to medium.

A nice restaurant around here serves deep-fried spinach. I love spinach but not this. It's like ultra thin, green, homemade potato chips without any taste.

 

Sweet potatoes make an interesting chip when fried. They go good with spinach dip.

 

I know, my steak preference is different from most people. Frog legs are highly underrated. I'm assuming you've partaken in their goodness before?

 

The Bloomsburg Fair. Where I should be buried.

Most of the deep-fried foods mentioned here have passed through those hallowed gates.

I discovered both fried Oreos and fried macaroni-and-cheese there, both of which are among the top 10 guilty pleasures of all time.

 

you guys really should stop with that frog leg shit. jesus christ.
