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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!)

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.
