Favorite Fried Food

[Jessica]

When you're going all out & eating healthy isn't on your mind, what's your pick for the best deep-fried food?

[GOPisEvil]

1. French fries are their own food group.

[VelmaD]

2. You left out chicken fried steak and fried okra...

but only the good fried okra that was run through a little cornmeal and then fried...not that batter dipped crap you get in restaurants.

[redqueen]

16. Mmmm... chicken fried steak & fried okra... there's a combo made in heaven

I even love the crap battered okra from restaurants! :9

[VelmaD]

23. I knew there had to be something...

you and I agreed on 100%. Next time we're arguing about something I'm just gonna turn the conversation to chicken fried steak and fried okra. :)

[redqueen]

25. Oh please...

don't we agree on most stuff and only disagree on a bit? Or maybe I'm just remembering wrong... either way I still lurve ya. :)

[VelmaD]

30. Lemme think...

cute guys, chicken fried steak, okra...well, we agree on all the important things in life anyway. :)And my momma always says, "if two people agree on everything then one of them is redundant". :loveya:

[BikeWriter]

32. There ya go!

[kk897]

29. Chicken fried steak: I'm a veggie but I remember it fondly!

One of my faves from my meat-eating days.

[Akoto]

3. Need more than one vote!

I voted for fried chicken, but only because I had to pick one! I love fries, donuts, etc. :D

[Ganja Ninja]

4. I love the Blooming Onions at Outback. n/t

[tjwmason]

5. Chips

By which I mean real English chips. They are like french fries but are thick enough that you actually know that they are made of potato.

They are best when double fried, once at a low temperature to cook the potato, then for a shorter period at a higher temp to turn them brown.

[Mizmoon]

9. Are they the kind with the mayonnaise sauce?

I had those in Amsterdam and they were very tasty!

[tjwmason]

20. They can be eaten with just about any sauce imaginable

Mayonnaise is quite popular in southern England, along with Belgium and Holland.

The north of England infamously goes for gravy (which has to be really thick and gloopy - it actually tastes gorgeous).

At university one canteen would serve chips with cheese (a tad bizzare, never liked it myself).

6. Breaded mushrooms - hard to find in places

They were my sustenance during college. My room mate's mom worked at a Hoagie Shop and would give us a big box of frozen breaded mushrooms every once and a while.

[MissMillie]

7. Shellfish!!!!

Fried clams (not clam strips), scallops, shrimp..... love it! My son put in an application for a local clam shack. I can't wait to get the discount.

[mcscajun]

Indeedy! Fried Shrimp! Yummy!

Fried Scallop, fried flounder, also quite good.

Fried Chicken, Chicken Fried Steak.

Pork Tonkatsu, Vegetable Tempura.

Put a crust on it and I'm yours!

:crazy:

[antigone382]

8. What??? No mushrooms?

Beer-batter mushrooms are the best thing EVER.

[Jessica]

10. They are great ... can't believe I forgot them!

They're always soooo hot when you bite into them. Little boogers burn my tongue. But, so very tasty.

[candle_bright]

15. I agree on deep-fried mushrooms

Love 'em! I have to have lemons to squeeze on them, though.

Now I'm salivating. I think I know what I'm getting for lunch. :)

[antigone382]

18. Yes, they definitely must be eaten with caution.

But they're oh so worth it.

[On the Road]

11. Fried Scallops

[redqueen]

12. Other - all of the above except donuts, pickles & anything sweet.

Made fried chicken just last night, actually.

:9

[MissMillie]

14. I love fried chicken

I have my own version of 11 herbs and spices... the Colonel would be jealous.

[redqueen]

34. See now you shouldn'tve said that...

now I wanna know! Would it be worth my time to beg, or is this one of those closely guarded secret-type things?

I put just salt, peppers, and a little Lowry's seasoned salt in mine. Still tastes good, though. :)

[HeeBGBz]

13. What no shrimp???

In that case, I'll vote for calimari.

[MemphisTiger]

17. Jalapeno poppers are good, but how could you forget

BUFFALO WINGS?

[Jessica]

19. Ah, yes.

I always forget about those being fried - because they're all slathered in sauce. Good stuff.

[Moms Baby Democrat]

21. Fried Zucchini

Please no more food threads until I eat something....

Must.Eat.Today

[Jessica]

24. Good stuff. I love them with marinara sauce & some

parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Okay - I'm sorry. No more, I promise. :)

[Moms Baby Democrat]

26. Batter Dipped Rules

with some buttermilk ranch to dip it in....:9

Still.Need.Food

[Goathead]

22. Soft shelled crabs

They are da bomb

[Zuni]

33. You think like I do

I could go for a nice soft shelled crab sandwich right about now

[bobthedrummer]

27. An onion ring.

:9

[madmom]

28. bread...

when we where young my mom would make homemade bread and after it rose the first time, you punch it down to let it rise again. Before the second rise she would take a small amount flatten it like a pancake fry it serve while still hot with a little salt and lots of butter.YUM. My kids love it now too.

[BikeWriter]

31. Chicken fried snake, I mean, steak...

[northzax]

35. not fair!

you don't see me asking you to pick between your children, do you? I have no favourites.

[bugslsu9]

36. MMMMMMMM .....

Cheese Curds:headbang:

[Kellanved]

37. I can't decide

It is either Hallumi, Falaffel or Currywurst.

[DrGonzoLives]

38. Mozarella sticks

:9

[amazona]

39. I have a fried chicken I make that is the best

My fries are pretty good too.

When I eat out, I don't eat fried, because stupid Andrew Weil spoiled it for me with his tales of how often restaurants change their oil. (They don't.)

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

[Maine-ah]

40. clams, with the belly mind you, none of that sissy shit clam strips!!

[MissMillie]

43. Clam strips are pure sacriledge

I mean, why even bother?

[alfredo]

41. Fried hot banana peppers

with cocktail sauce on the side.

Bacon is my all time favorite.

[Jessica]

42. I've never had those ... sounds good.

Your name reminds me ... At a local restaurant, I recently ordered fried alfredo bites - basically just lumps of fettucini alfredo pasta, deep fried & served w/ marinara sauce. Different, but good.

[alfredo]

45. They are batter fried, and are a good warm up

for the Hot Brown, an open faced turkey and ham sandwich covered in mornay sauce, tomatoes, cheese and bacon. It is then put in a broiler to melt the cheese.

That fried pasta dish sounds dangerous.

I love fried polenta too.

[Bertha Venation]

44. fried okra is pretty damned good when my MIL makes it w/ fried green

tomatoes. :9 Can't wait to go home to TN in July!
