Twin Twinkies
Deep fried Twinkies? In my supermarket’s frozen food section? It’s more likely than you think thanks to the nice folks at Hostess! Now you can get your Twinkie fix without all that messy actual deep-frying: the iconic snack food comes pre-deep-fried (whatever that means) and only needs to be “oven baked in minutes”. Choose from Original Golden or Chocolate breaded & filled – why not both? (image via Mike Mozart)
Spare Us
Because deep-fried ramps don’t prompt enough of a gastroenteric adventure for some folks, we give you… Deep Fried Asparagus! To be fair, “we” don’t give it to you, you have to buy your own at the Ferry Building Farmers Market in San Francisco. Hmm, and all this time we thought Rice-A-Roni was the San Francisco Treat. Maybe Deep Fried Asparagus is the San Francisco Threat. (image via stu spivack)
Crap Diem
Talk about putting lipstick on a pig… all the lemongrass seasoning, spices, lime broth and yes – deep frying to a golden hue – won’t change the fact that the above dish is, for want of a better word, “crap”. Actually, this dish IS in want of a better word, or at least a better copy editor less prone to typos. That said, do the restaurant’s management ever wonder why nobody’s ordering (not to mention, putting up with) their crap? (image via Christian Heilmann)
Anything Goes
Our bonus entry comes from Keansburg, NJ where anything’s a deep fried delicacy if you’re brave enough. We personally draw the line at “Deep Fried Kitchen Sink” since we get enough iron in our diet. But seriously, this sign plainly illustrates that when it comes to deep frying, there are no limits. That’s the great thing about living in a free society… or is it? (image via Fox Totorus)
