Has anyone ever tried...
 

has anyone ever tryed one of those fryed twinkies? or even Snickers? or even a fryed pickle?!?! I went to the texas "south plains/panhandle" fair and was exposed to these foods (never had a desire to try them though... !:eek: im not one for greese deep fryed greese) now Im not saying that they could be good, I just did not want to try one, so im asking you all, have you ever tryed one of these? if so how was it? :confused:

I had a deep-fried Twinkie in Las Vegas last year. It wasn't as gross as I thought it'd be, but I also woudn't care to try another one. A regular Twinkie would be better any day.

I've never tried the other foods, but I'm sure I'll have the "opportunity" at the state fair some year. The pickle sounds like it'd be better than the candy bar though.

You know, I'm not really big on fried foods either (not since working in fast-food eight or nine years ago), but I did try a fried twinkie at the Iowa State Fair two months ago. It was my first state fair ever, and it was just something I had to do. It was actually pretty good! :eek: It was a twinkie on a stick, dipped in batter like a corn dog, then deep fried. Mine was still warm, and they put whipped cream on it. I don't know if I'd get another one (not a habit I want to start). It was kinda yummy, though. Maybe next time I'll try the deep fried oreos or the deep fried snickers bar. Just for something different, you know...

:D

I haven't tried them but I've seen them. When I was in England, everything was deep fried. Mars bars, pizza, burgers... :eek: I am a fan of fried food, but I didn't really have anything too exotic...

I grilled a pickle a year or two ago. I didn't do anything other than burn the pickle.

:sing: ...dollars to donuts that our state fair is the best state fair in our state...

I don't know. I think that other Kentucky State Fair in Lexington would give the Louisville Kentucky State Fair a run for their money. But don't forget the Kentucky State Fair in Padooka (sp).

You know, I could *swear* that I know somebody from Paducah, KY, but I can't for the life of me think who... :confused:

Has anyone ever tried a twinkie-weiner sandwhich?

???
 

Say wha?! Whats that? (im afraid to ask) :confused: :eek:

Its a Twinkie w/ a hot dog in it. Weird Al eats one in his movie UHF.

Thought about it, but never had the guts to actually consume one. Weird Al has eaten a few in TV specials since UHF, but now they're always tofu-dogs.

AHAHHA!! Someone was watching UHF...

I'm actually trying to teach myself how to cook (I've almost got Pizzas down pat) and I'm working on fried foods. My fries aren't that great. I tried to fry mashed potatoes (long story short, McKains has them... shaped as meshuggena smiley faces) but it didn't do anything but made them greasy...

I tried to make a donught a while a go (months) but all I got was a greasy mass of dough....

Doughnuts are the hardest thing to make almost. Even experienced cookers mess up. Try something easier like cookies!

deep fried food stuffs
 

hey,

iv had a deep fried mars bar.very bizarre :eek: .but like erin sed over here in england we do go a bit crazy deep frying things.specially chips.fish and chips do usually leave a nice coating of grease across the top of ur mouth but we still eat them and i have no idea why... i know in scotland deep fried choklit bars are a big thing.i wonder who thought it up... :)

I've heard that deep fried twinkies are actually shockingly good. I mean, the actual concept of eating one is kind of repulsive, but based on what I've heard, i wouldn't hesitate to try one!

Oh, gag! They're eating deep-friend Oreos on Good Morning America right now!!! :eek:
Erin

Ha, it's kinda funny, the glas think they're groovy, and the guys think they're gross. :p Though Charlie says, "I don't like them, but I think I'll have another." :crazy:
Erin

Speeeeeew.
I can't imagine eating a deep-fried Twinkie. It's like asking to keel over and die of a heart attack on the spot!

I thought so too, but I was willing to take that risk for the sake of culinary experimentation. Twas indeed pretty yummy, but tis not something I would consume a second time.

:p

If you haven't tried either of them, you haven't lived. They were great to me! We had a deep fried Twinkie, Snickers Bar, and something else; there was also fried pickles. I also ate a Polish Sausage Sandwich, 2 caramell apples, funnel cake, corndog 12" variety, snowcone, and french fries during the run of the fair here in town. We paid $5 each nite to go eat and see the free stage show! We rode some rides, but nothing fun. Just the ferris wheel. I hang out with sissies.

I wonder what deep fryed pizza is like.

I wanted to try deep fried pizza when I was in England but I didn't get the chance. We ate at a nearby pub a lot, and almost everything there was deep fried.

A friend of mine just bought a deep fryer, so I'll have to see if she can do it.

Didn't McDonald's used to have something like that, way back in the 80s or early 90s? I think it was like their then-fried fruit pies, only with pizza in it instead of apples or cherries. I never tried it, but I was curious. At that time, though, I didn't have my own $$$, and my mom wasn't about to buy me deep-fried pizza!

:zany:

Wouldnt pizza in a crust be a Hot Pocket? ;)

I didn't know about the pizzas, but I LOVED the deep-fried cherry pies. I was really ticked when they stopped making them. :grouchy:
Erin

When did that happen?

Or a stromboli (and/or calzone). Hey, does anyone know the difference between a stromboli and a calzone? I've never quite understood the subtleties of this...

:cool:

I had a deep fried twinkie not too long ago on at the boardwalk in Santa Cruz. They're not bad.

in Okie-homie, we call deep fried pizza a pizza pocket. (but I don't like them, cause they always put onions, or something like that in them!)



wouldn't the chocolate melt on a snickers?

Depends on how fast it fries.

hmm I'll have to try that (where I eat my lunch every day at school, which consists of a big pretzel) I should ask Christine (the girl in charge) to fry a snickers, and let us all try it (sometimes she does weird things like that)

You sould worry more about any cream filling explosions.

:eek: Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!

I don't even WANT to know what's going on in here......... lol

Ugh. :p

I don't remember the chocolate melting too bad. It was good.

'Fried' food
 

Hiya.The only time I have heard about this phenom is on the show Unwrapped.I've never tried it myself,wonder what most food would taste like fried(especially sweets).-JaniceFerSure :p

That's a neat show. I especially like it because (aside from the fact that I love food) it's hosted by the guy who used to host "Double Dare."
