2. Add deep-fried twinkies; but my favorite remains funnel cakes and beignets.

4. I have to admit I am a big fan of funnel cake

or anything else from the fried dough family zeppoles, churros, beignets...they are all essentially the same but with "fancy" names :P

[jakefrep]

27. I beleive...

Twinkies may be the only food known to man whose nutritional value may actually be increased by the deep-frying process. Surely all the nasty preservatives are vaporized by the hot oil.

3. Peas?

[Left Is Write]

5. I'm sure somebody would.

If TGIFridays can offer green bean "fries", then surely somewhere, there are deep-fried peas!

They even deep fry macaroni & cheese.

6. I actually ate deep-fried mac and cheese

:blush:

And you know what? It was pretty darned tasty--like breadcrumb topping all the way around. Luckily it was only an hors d'oeuvre-size bite or I could have done some serious damage.

7. Apparently not -- not even the U.S. flag!

Really. You just can't make this stuff up. And no, it wasn't meant to found a chain of Kentucky Fried Old Glory outlets; it was an art project.

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2006/11/17/national/a082637S10.DTL&type=bondage

A museum director in this military town removed an art exhibit featuring several deep-fried American flags.

Art student William Gentry said his piece, "The Fat Is in the Fire," was a commentary on obesity in America. "I deep-fried the flag because I'm concerned about America and about America's health," Gentry said....

The exhibit featured three U.S. flags imprinted with phrases such as "Poor people are obese because they eat poorly" and more than 40 smaller flags fried in peanut oil, egg batter, flour and black pepper.

Egg batter?! What more proof do you need that this alleged "art student" is in fact a dirty filthy al-Qaeda-loving America-hating terraist?! :sarcasm:

What's next, flagducken? :eyes:

[Deja Q]

8. Lard? (or will that be the big thing at next year's State Fair?

They deep fry everything there...)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

9. Coca-Cola.

Oh, wait, nevermind.

11. Okay....odd as it sounds...

last night I had fried avocado. And it was good...dipped in a tempura-type batter and then flash-fried.

12. honey, in the south--

sooner or later IT will get fried, have no doubt!!

[elfrangel]

15. So true....

Someone mentioned fried pickles....here in the South those are pretty common. I love 'em when the pickles are dill, the batter has some heat (spice) and the dipping sauce in Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing....YUM YUM YUM!

[Deja Q]

13. The jenis?

:yoiks:

[wildhorses]

25. a la Hannibal Lector style?

with farvae beans and a nice chianti :rofl:

[Homer Wells]

14. A roadside diner in my part of WV

advertises deep fried baloney sandwiches, or they did last time I was driving by there.

Also, Shoneys offered , for a time, deep fried dill pickle slices.

16. There is nothing that can't be made better by deep frying

or adding cheese to it

[fizzgig]

18. wiser words have never been said

damn i'm such a fat kid

[MysticalChicken]

17. Water?

It's the only think I can think of that is not deep-fryable under any circumstances.

[swag]

19. Now that humans have gone ahead and deep-fried

the holy spirit, I think they'll go ahead an deep-fry anything else they find, including you and me, of course.

[WCGreen]

20. I would never ever deep fry Breast Milk.....

[mykpart]

21. My son says that even a dog turd

would taste good battered and deep-fried. :rofl:

[texanwitch]

22. No, one of my neighbors has a saying she heard growing up.

If we can catch, pick it, or grow it, it can be fried.

[leftofthedial]

23. oil?

:shrug:

[hsher]

24. Well, cats are on my list of "nots"
