I was just watching the Food Network and they were at a diner that served battered and deep-fried chicken (and gizzards), hot dogs, hamburgers, oreos, and Twinkies...yikes! I'm not a big fan of fried foods anyway but that all sounds like overkill too. What's your favorite deep fried food...or what food do you think would taste good deep fried?

If I could deep fry everything I ate, I'm pretty sure I would. I absolutely love deep fried foods. I love the normal things like chicken and cheese sticks. I LOVE deep fried pickles! I like the idea of deep frying tons of other veggies too...I just haven't gotten around to actually doing much of it yet. (I just recently bought my own deep fryer) I've heard of the Twinkies and things like that, but haven't tried them yet. Just yesterday I deep fried some chedder stuffed jalapenos. Yum :) Oh! I almost forgot about corndogs! Who doesn't love corndogs? lol

I did try fried pickles years ago and they weren't bad. At least fried veggies have some redeeming value but Twinkies and Oreos and those things...really aren't they unhealthy enough to begin with? :) The fried hot dogs on the show I saw just had a thin batter on them not like the thick cornbread batter that corn dogs have...seemed odd.

I don't know if you are from the South or have ever been to the South, but we deep-fry everything here....even pickles. I personally don't, but my favorite deep fried food is Funnel Cakes...you know those things you get at the carnival with powdered sugar on top....YUMMMMMMMM I actually have a recipe to make it at home...haven't tried it yet. And I just may tomorrow.

Oh yeah, we always got funnel cakes at the state fair. That's the one time of year I indulged :)

As a rule, I don't like deep fried foods. The only exception would be fresh cut fries...and then I need lots of paper towels to drain off excess grease.

I am not a big fan of deep fat fried foods either. I don't like french fries deep fat fried I cook them in the oven I guess the only thing I really like deep fat fried is chicken and mozzeralla sticks everything else I would rather bake in the oven all that grease gives me a tummy ache.

I'm a pretty big fan of french fries that are deep fried. It's so weird what people think of to deep fry now. I saw, at my city's fair year, a sign for deep fried coke. I had to look it up, of course, I mean, how does one deep fry a liquid? http://www.wftv.com/foodnews/9789814/detail.html There's an article regarding the new concoction.

Deep fried Coke? Before I read the article I imagined a block of frozen coke battered and dropped in oil LOL That's a new one on me. The fried banana&PB&J sandwich sounds like it might actually be pretty good :) Thanks for the response and article link!
