Deep-fried foods I have eaten

[SportsHack1818]

Why would you deep fry fruit? Isn't that counterproductive?

(Then again, why would you deep fry a pickle ...)

[SportsHack1818]

One my favorite deep frieds is an Irish boxty -- basically deep-fried mashed potatoes

[printdust]

Let's see: (And I have tried most of these, though some were debuted last year and I didn't make it)

Oreos
Milky Way
Twinkies
pickles
okra
cauliflower
broccoli
hot dog
bratwurst

Fried okra...my son thought those were lizard balls the first time he saw them, cut one open, and saw all the slimy shit come out.

How about fried chitlins?  
cheddarwurst
macaroni & cheese
pork chop (on a stick)
walleye (on a stick)
cheese curds
apples
grapes, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, strawberry, pineapple, apple, pineapple, banana, kiwi, peaches, cherries, pears
corned beef and cabbage (on a stick)
Rueben (on a stick)
spam curds
pickles smeared with cream cheese and wrapped with ham, battered and fried on a stick

And, finally:

Tuna Noodle Hotdish (on a stick)

[sportschick]

Okra, and only because Grandma made me.

It's the Minnesota State Fair. Everything MUST be deep fried or on a stick, preferably both.

And spnited, you mean mini donuts?

Mmmmmmmm... mini donuts.

And the pickle-cream cheese-ham thing on a stick is fucking righteous.

Oh, I forgot, Scotch Eggs (on a stick)

[printdust]

Fried twinkies were repulsive.

Fried okra - my son thought they were lizard balls and threw up when he cut into one and the slimy stuff came out.

How about fried chitlins?  Cooked right are they anything but fried rubber?

[spnited]

Mini donuts? No.  

Zepoles.. Italian deep fried dough balls... shaken in a bag with powdered sugar

[zeke12]

Out here they're mini donuts, spnited. I knew what you were talking about.

Thing I want to try from the MN state fair but have not: The Uffda Brat.

Norweigan sausage wrapped in lefse and (you guessed it) on a stick.

Clearly, this thread is headed for...

but different dough than donuts

Didn't know Sonic had fried pickles.

The only place I've had them is as an appetizer at a sit-down restaurant.

I've had them at two places, one place was a brewpub in a resort town, the other place was at Hooters.

It's not something I would have everyday, but at least once a month, they are very good.

Anyone have a printout of this thread for the cardiologists?

[Write-brained]

Hmmm, I'm down South yet I've never run into deep fried Oreos ... I thought the South was king of that kind of stuff.

Most bizarre deep friend thing I've ever eaten: alligator.

Tastes like chicken. Seriously, I've had it, too -- and it's good eatin'.

It does taste like chicken and has the texture of fish ...

I've also had it... it's a little chewy and doesn't really have a distinctive taste in my opinion.

[imjustagirl2]

I've had gator a couple times. Yummy.

[SportsHack1818]

I'm with Lucas. Kind of like chewy chicken.

[Mystery_Meat]

Chewy chicken, a little bit of a different aftertaste. There's a place near my house that does half-price po'boys on Mondays. When I go, I usually get the blackened crawfish one. Now that's good damned eatin'.

Rocky Mountain Oysters.

And they weren't bad. They weren't, you know, good, but they weren't bad.

If I was drunk and hungry...

I like calf fries with ketchup.

Place down the street from my old shop had a deal called the Okie Surf-n-Turf. Calf fries and frog legs.

The (thinly-sliced) fried pickles at Rick's on the Bricks in Fort Worth rawk.  With a side of ranch, but I usually opt for drowning them in Tabasco.  Excellent partner to a cold draft Shiner.

[zeke12]

Also, for a whole different fried food experience, don't forget your local sushi house.

Tempura asparagus is fantastic.

[JayFarrar]

I've drawn the line at deep fried desserts. So no Twinkies, candy bars or Oreos for me.
And no deep fried animal testicle either.
I've had pickles two ways, chips and spears. The spears actually taste like pickle.
The chips taste like whatever sauce - ranch - you dip them in.
TGI Friday's also serves deep fried mac and cheese balls. Very good.
Gator is good as well.

[zeke12]

Dude, you have to try a Snickers or a Milky Way.

So good.

[Write-brained]

So where do they have these things? I don't see them anywhere around here.
