Deep Fry Party

[Greg Nog]

AYO

I just recently got a dedicated electric deep-fryer, as I wanted to be able to deep-fry in the open air of my balcony instead of heating up my kitchen.  And also it was on super-sale on some internet closeout site.

WHAT TO DEEP FRY?

Suggest something you think would rule -- could be as pedestrian as french fries, or you could wax rhapsodic about something you've always wanted to see deep-fried but have no idea if it would even be possible.

oh man, we used to have excellent deep fry parties in grad school.  we deep fried a wide assortment of things — meats, vegetables, candy bars, twinkies, ice cream, etc.  the list of what not to deep fry is shorter.

[Ashley]

you should deep fry some cod

[Ashley]

you could eat it with some potatoey things
and breadcrumbs
and savory
and some gravy that came from a can

[Ashley]

ideally, while you are eating, it will look exactly like this except maybe on a real plate


if you want to skip the canned gravy shit you could opt for gravy you canned yourself.  

(can you can gravy?)

really the cod and the dressing are the most important parts

Ashley's picture has summed up my year in NL pretty well.

Squash blossoms
Pierogi
Chocolate chip cookie

[The_Tourist]

make a popper, but replace the jalapeno with salami.

[mixed cats]

Time to make your own corn dogs!

Also cupcakes
Small pies
Mixed cheeses inside egg roll wrappers
Egg rolls duh
Wontons
chocolate inside wonton wrappers
Things on sticks dipped in pancake batter
Pop tarts
Cassettes
Paula Deen's wig

I deep fried some action figures once

Probably not helpful, but it was really, really cool

Dill pickles
Green peppers

[jess]

Deep fried pickled banana peppers are awesome. (I think they might kind of a Kentucky thing?)

[Good Intentions]

Tempura is a regular even round my place when I'm a little lazy and can stomach a few thousand extra calories. Deep-fried broccoli in tempura batter, served alongside some soy sauce, is my favourite way to have that vegetable.

Probably the best or maybe second best thing I have cooked this year is the boudin balls I made a couple months ago. Roll boudin into balls (ping pong sized or so), bread with the common seasoned flour->egg/milk wash->seasoned bread crumbs method, then deep fry to a golden brown and goddamn

I also made the boudin myself and the recipe was based on this but customized to my tastes: http://homesicktexan.blogspot.com/2011/01/boudin-recipe-boudain.html

I'm home sick for proper fish and chips!

My first reaction, in case you're wondering, was "CHHHEEEEESE!!!" Just a thought.

I like Bernard's suggestions though, and GI's tempura is another winner.

All the food

All the food

Yes, this.

[mixed cats]

I need an invitation to this party

[milly balgeary]

You know those brats with the cheese in em, that are overly processed? I had a party once, and we all fried up some brats, and usually those things are nasty, but damnnn. You fry those up, you are gonna be running around with two in your hand, sweating across your brow big ole brown drops of grease, laughing sordidly. It good.

Dill pickles

[cold before sunrise]

do cod tongues and mars bars, feel eastern canadian.

[Ashley]

cut out the goo from the cod tongues first

[clare]

Yeah, battered and deep fried Mars bars are a winner. Being in the US and unable to get a real Mars bar you'd need to sub something like a Milky Way...though now I'm craving a 3 Musketeers...(because it's like an Aus Milky Way on steroids). You could deep fry that OK too I guess.

[Antero]

Being in the US and unable to get a real Mars bar

wait what
