BY VOLTAIRE'S SILK STOCKINGS! DEEP FRIED WHITE CASTLE?

I know of two things that can top this: Blimpy Burger in Ann Arbor, and Gus Burgers at UVA.

If you don’t know about either of these, words alone cannot describe…

“you’re pretty drunk. are you sure you want to eat that?”

I think I’m in love….

That overtakes the deep fried snickers as the most deliciously artery clogging thing i’ve ever seen. Why not step it up and deep fry a moe’s burrito?

There can’t be anymore grease in one of those than a Varsity chili-cheeseburger.

Do you think a deep-fried Krystal would serve essentially the same purpose? Now I can stop debating about buying that deep-fryer.

For some reason I can’t get the EDSBS Top 25 post to load below the picture of Kragthorpe… any one else having this problem?

Dave K.—clear your cache, and it should be fine.

are you guys serious? this looks disgusting. deep-fried snickers on the other hand….

A place I used to frequent had what is known as the “triple/triple.” Three slices of cheese and three meat patties. It could clog the arteries of an elephant herd. Now deep fried it will take out a pod or two of blue whales.

Meh. Wake me when somebody starts serving deep fried fat, with a side of deep fried refined white sugar.

I know it’s off-topic, but given your post a while back on Bear visiting various locals, I thought I would share.

I feel like I’ve just been told there is no Santa Claus.

@#2:
Greatest quote of all time.

oreos. deep-fried oreos.

With a side of Dr. Pepper’s from the factory in Texas, or Cokes from NYC around Passover - pure cane sugar.

Yawn. Wake me when somebody does a deep-fried Baconator.

And hey, Otm Shank, is it clear whether the show referenced in that link is ‘Man vs. Wild’ under its original British title? It would seem to be exactly the same show. And I would like to know what Grylls thought he was doing when he filmed: teaching survival or actually living survival for three days or however long it took him to find civilization. Obviouisly, he sleeps some nights in the wild – there’s footage of him in the middle of the night in his little shelter, running away from an unknown animal, etc., unless this was staged to show how one goes about a midnight escape. The only thing I’ve ever found suspicious about the show is that his flimsy animal traps ALWAYS work (and how does the camera crew get by without doing what Bear has to do, anyway?), but now I can’t watch it anymore because every slightly dramatic moment could be staged for the audience’s benefit. It was getting a little repetitive, anyway.

SMQ speaks truth and knowledge. Those should be illegal.

I don’t know what the Iowa State Fair has in mind for 2007, but it’s probably going to blow your freaking mind. They’ve fried twinkies, Coca-Cola syrup (fa real brah), and severed human feet. Not bad, not great.

I’d probably try one. By “one” I mean several.

“If everything was fried, there would be no wars.” – Bill Dauterive

Not that this tops any of the aforementioned, but there’s an irony in one of my favorite discoveries at the Harvest Homecoming in New Albany, Indiana: Deep Fried Cauliflower.

I suspect they want you to die while getting healthy.

I couldn’t tell, busy as I was with the pork chop sammich and the fresh-from-the-stalk corn. “You want butter with that?” They then dip it into a crock pot full of butter.

See you guys there in November.

Deep-drying something does not by itself make it tasty. I may be in the minority, but I find White Castles to be awful. My wife says that they “smell like poverty”.

I can vouch for the deep-fried Twinkie as being off the chain, yo.

Orson, you should know it’ll be deep fried Krystal’s in Tennessee.

This past weekend we hit he Orange County fair (had to take the kids to see Weird Al) and tried the deep fried avocado (aka fat fried in fat and then dipped in fat) and the fried twinkie, but passed on the orieos.

My wife says that they "smell like poverty".

You sure she wasn’t talking about black people?

/racism

Chg—true.

SMQ—well, yes. All glory is but fleeting. True and applicable to Bear, as well.

i think your wife was recalling what nick saban said about urban meyer upon getting his raise.

I also can’t get the top 25 post to load past Kraigthorpe’s picture. And I did clear my cache and still no picture or comments for that post.

Probably this pos computer at work is at fault.

You can’t stop the awesomeness, you can only hope it doesn’t come out the wrong way when you finish the fried 10-sack.

FYI, for you southerners, the Castle is most easily defined as bein the Krystal of the North. Best. Burgers. Ever.

The Stray Dog in New Buffalo, MI puts cheese, bacon and caramelized onions on a hot dog, and then deep fries it. It’s phenomenal.

As for Bear… dude squeezed water out of elephant poop directly into his mouth. If he wants to stay at a Holiday Inn… fine by me.

I notice they’re using a thermometer. What exactly is the temperature of idiocy?

Count me in with the others that can’t fully load the 10-12 picks article. It’s never happened before, and I did clear the cache as well.

oh yeah….regarding the original topic….recent fried items at the texas state fair include…..oreos, twinkies, pork ribs, cheesecake, peanut butter/jelly AND peanut butter/banana sandwiches, and god help me fried coke.

OC Phil, I have the same issue on both my PC and my CrackBerry.

O, it cuts out around the HP spoiler for #11L’ville.

Dude, what? Fried coke?

I was actually really impressed by the thermometer – I’d say somewhere between 300 – 350 degrees.

um yeah, please explain the fried coke – it’s nearly fair season up here in Northern West Virginia.

Watcing CFB Live, I can’t help but feel that, whether they are talking about Alabama, Tennessee, or USC, it isn’t good for college football to have those three guys asking
“Can anyone beat this team?” over a week before practice starts.

I just get mental images of a whole host of people the caliber of Jay Marrioti and Dan Lebatard voting in the AP poll based upon their respective opinions of Mark May and Lou Holtzth’s analysis.

DC trojan -
Tommie’s run?

This is the only real food worth deepfrying…

¡Largo Vive el Pueblo del Taco!

Turns out fried Coca-Cola was a Texas thing; I humbly withdraw any association I drew between it and Iowa.

Here are some details:

“The whole concoction tasted better than I expected. I know, I know: what’s fried tastes good. But really, this was quite yummy. Digging in with a fork, fried Coke at first gave off the airs of a supersweet donut. It got soggier and sweeter the further down into the cup I got, until the very bottom, which was all Coke syrup and shreds of wet dough. This is where more conventional Coke-consuming methods, such as a straw, came into play. The last gulp was a thick deep-brown sludge, warmed by residue from the fryer, and delicious.”

Anyone else popping a stiffy?

I see a distrubance in the deep fried force this tailgating season in the making. Millions of innocent oreos, twikies, sliders, and cokes (wtf?!?) will suddenly cry out and be silenced forever. Plus some hellacious grease fires behind the Tahoes.

not too many people know this but it is a tenet of cajun cooking that if something can be fried, it can be eaten. i’m sure RCR will affirm the truth of this.

in any case, as odd as this is it’s not anywhere in the range of some of the things i’ve sampled in peru. like pan fried guinea pig and frog juice

….“smooth spheres of coca-cola-flavored batter are deep fried, drizzled with pure coke fountain syrup, topped with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry.”

Anybody else know what a Scotch Egg is? My father-in-law, already with two bypass surgeries to his credit, pulled one out as ‘a light snack’ when we were working on the house about 10 years ago — a boiled egg (peeled, of course) wrapped inside about a pound of pork sausage meat and deep fried. Roughly the size of a grapefruit. Quite tasty, too. … He’s dead now (heart attack). God bless him. Sniff.

Opps Pow Surprise.

I just threw up in my mouth.

I weight 250 pounds and I don’t find that appealing at all.

I still think that the Luther Burger is the most amazing delicacy ever. A double cheeseburger with 4 slices of bacon….. all between a sliced Krispy Kreme doughnut. It killed Luther Vandross, it’s good enough for me.

Dear Lord, I didn’t know this would turn into its own feature EDSBS post when I mentioned it to Orson this morning via email. That post (from the spring game) led to a deep frying challenge from a reader, whose tailgate group is attempting Deep Fried Bacon Chili Cheese Dogs this season. At some point, someone’s gonna have to deep fry a deep fryer.

I have, indeed, heard the legend of deep fried coke. The physics are too much for me to comprehend.

When in new Orleans, Try the original:

Tuckers Tavern – Homne of the Deep Fried Stuffed Burger.

It moved after Hurricane Katrina, but its still near the Medical district just in case…

#11: From your link:

“The programme explicitly does not claim that presenter Bear Grylls’s experience is one of unaided solo survival.”

I can’t wait to use that phrase.

My country ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing…

Boys (and girls) you know I think I’m going to buy some vegetable oil options later on today. Those bitches will be looking good come mid October.

A really tasty deep fried treat would be a brownie.

you Young-Uns probably dont remember Skeeters Big Biscuits…so yeah basically anything on their menu after say 2 AM…and that double cheesburger in a Krispy Kreme…does the White Casle come with an emergency Angioplasty Kit, Orson, cause I always keep on handy

And when there was no meat, we fried fowl and when there was no fowl, we fried crawdad and when there was no crawdad to be found, we fried sand.
You fried what?
We fried sand.
You fried SAND?
That’s right.

After reading that description of fried coke I feel like throwing up.

I heard that deep frying white castle cheeseburgers is what causes the Solanum Virus

here’s a pic of said luther burger…. coronary onslaught never looked so damn tasty.

Deep frying – the Twinkie I have seen, but not tasted. The Coke – haven’t seen or tasted. But, I have had deep fried haggis, as once I told this Scotsman that I would eat anything deep fried, this being after consuming large amounts of bourbon.

I was recounting to my cardiologist the other day, that I think I was about 14 when I realized there were foods that you didn’t have to take out of the skillet and put on a paper towel to let the grease soak out. I was at a friend’s house when I saw his mother not cooking in the normal Southern way, but then again, she was from way up north. Somewhere near Memphis.

#51, a “Raising Arizona” reference is always appreciated, thanks…

At Dyer’s in Memphis, they deep fry the burger (just the meat for this one) in oil that according to legend, has never actually been changed. For 95 years.
These days I’m in one of those geographical oddities that has both a Krystal and a White Castle (you get a free one with a college I.D., too!)

Anybody else know what a Scotch Egg is?

Last time I was visiting family in the Auld Country, you could get pre-fab Scotch eggs that were basically bite sized, available in 12 packs. Combine with a couple of tins of McEwan’s export for a low-class tasty treat. Mmmm.

Skillet? Ma DC Trojan used to use a deep frier, although mostly for the daily home-made french fry ration.

I wonder what deep fried pickled eggs taste like. I may have to venture out to the Jockeylot in Anderson this weekend to see if they have any.

If that’s not proof you were actually born and raised in the mythical village of Brigadoon, then nothing is.

Alas, the frier has been retired for some years now. Imagine the culture clash when I married someone whose parents once belonged to a tofu co-op in Ann Arbor.

Deep fry this:

Mmmm, “quadruple bybass burger.” That’s how we roll in the desert. Literally. (Think blueberry kid in “Willy Wonka.” Except with lard.)

A few years ago I had a (hot) 19 year old student mention that she had a heart attack when she was 16. She came from a family where they used to pour sugar straight onto crisco and eat it. Another family snack was to eat butter with a spoon.

One day, the entire world will run out of things to deep fry. Then, we will move to sauteeing.

Mmmm. Hot nurses. That’s some good thinking.

OC Phil, your story is to silly to even believe. A girl like that would probably be having fluffernutter and Hershey’s Syrup sandwiches/

I am a little dissapointed no one brought up the Homer Simpson Delicacy: Moon Waffles:

• Empty bag of caramels onto waffle iron.
• Add generous portion of waffle batter (Oooooh… Waffle runoff…).
• Add one bottle of Liquid Smoke.
• Cook until burnt.
• Wrap waffle around a stick of butter.
• Serve on a toothpick.

mmmmmmmmmmm…. moonwaffles

do y’all take the wrappers off of the caramels first?

Other than the heart attack, what did you find abnormal?
