The penultimate in Southern cuisine

[SouthernN'Proud]

Being Southern, I have long known that there is no authentic American cuisine that can hold a light to ours. New Orleans/cajun comes close, but (newsflash) they're Southern too.

If it is possible for it to be cooked, we will find a way to deep fry it. I've had deep fried pickle chips, deep fried corn on the cob, fried green t'maters (fixin a batch of them tonight in fact), and have heard of or seen deep fried Coca Cola and deep fried watermelon. But just now, I experienced the pinnacle of all things Southern as relates to a deep fryer.

Deep fried Oreos. Yummmm!

We been eatin deep fried oreo's up here in the northeast for a mighty long time... those things are phenomenol, but i can only take so much of the artery clogging goodness...

your stomach gonna be able to handle all that fried deliciousness?

[tonksy]

MMMMM...fried eggplant.

[TexasRaceLady]

Nothing better than a fried green tomatoes and fried eggplant.

However, fried squash (yellow and zuchini) and fried mushrooms come close. :D

Nothing Southern about frying, sunshine.

[SouthernN'Proud]

I never said we invented frying, sparky. We just perfected it.

And you can take wikipedia and stick it where the sun DON'T shine. It's less reliable than Oprah.

How does it compare in reliability to a Chevy?

[SouthernN'Proud]

You can always depend on a Chebbie to leave you stranded at least...

Whatever skippy, it certainly seemed like that was whats youse was implyin...

There is some place round here (Brooklyn) that does fried candy bars and fried twinkies. Apparently, you can bring in other edible goodies and they will fry it right up for ya.

Trading one medical condition for another?

Sorry folks, if you want fried & southern, there's nothing that can beat chicken.

Rookie. :kiss:

Catfish, frog legs, walleye, just to name a few. Fried chicken is OK but tiresome. Gotta come up with some variety for that fryer ya know.

[Gonz]

Not knocking the rest but, c'mon, fried chicken is a staple.

[majestyx]

Fried twinkies are awsome! And, I must have the Thanksgiving turkey deep-fried!!!!!:bgpimp:

[Inkara1]

Absolutely.

Fried turkey is for Sat the 14th.

Alright, I need to try deep fried Twinkies.

My damn ol China made DeLonghi deep frier, I got a Sam's club a couple
of years ago, ain't been worth spit. It never has gotten hot enough
to fry right.:hmm:

French fries, kinda
Did chicken Once that came out edible, but I grill, or stovetop now mostly.

More accurate way to put it. WalMart/Sam's is the single biggest ripoff going, and like sheep people line up around the corner and beg them to please take all our money.

Not I.

If ever anyone desperately needs me for something at any point in the future, I can't tell you where to start looking for me, but I can tell you where not to look. It don't matter what, I won't be at the WalMart. Guarantee.

What's a good brand?

[Gato_Solo]

Amen sister. Ain't no other way.

I tend to smoke my bird. Soak it overnight in a bath of apple juice, and then place in the smoker. It takes a good while, but man-oh-man is it good.

[Professur]

I nearly bought a smoker a few weeks back, but couldn't justify the expense. Our outdoor cooking season just isn't long enough to make it worth while.

If you've got a neighbor who has one, see if you can borrow it, and check it out. You can use just about any nut or fruit woods, but stay away from pine. If we had any maple trees here, I'd try a bit of that wood, but I have no idea what that will do to the flavor of the meat, or if it will coat the smoker with any residual sap. :shrug:

[Professur]

dude ... this is the GWN. Noone spends hours cooking outside here. Try that and you'll be lucky if the wildlife doesn't take up permanent residence.

The Indiana State Fair has begun. This year, it features Deep Fried Pepsi.
